EML Coin Collector Valued Member United States 193 Posts	Posted 09/19/2023 11:10 am ==Brandmeister== I meant in this case that the quarter has more copper than the average quarter like 92% vs 91.67%. Marlies Report this Post to the Staff
coin rejector Pillar of the Community United States 2860 Posts	Posted 09/19/2023 11:38 am The weight differential is the equivalent of.... how many individual grains of rice are in a 1lb bag. 1 bag may contain 7,034 grains of rice, while another may contain 7,021. Just because the other has 13 more grains than the other.... doesn't make it very special. You have a normal, average quarter. Keep it if you like it. Report this Post to the Staff
EML Coin Collector Valued Member United States 193 Posts	Posted 09/19/2023 11:47 am ==coin rejector== It is not a normal average quarter to me if it falls on one extreme or the other in terms of weight. I'll keep it due to being unique in it's own way. Thanks for all your help everyone! Marlies Report this Post to the Staff

Dearborn Moderator United States 97793 Posts	Posted 09/19/2023 3:31 pm Well it has one thing going for this slightly above average weight quarter - it is your birth year. 2x2 that sucker if you want. Be sure to mark it with the weight you measured so you don't forget. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember.
