If your available scale shows a regular quarter weighs 5.6 grams (rounded to the nearest 0.2 grams) and your "uncoated" coin weighs 5.0 grams or less, it may be a genuine error. In that case go to the ANACS website (www.ANACS.com) and read their instructions on submitting an error coin. You can print out a submission form and go from there. Your cost for sending in this one coin will be $19 for grading, plus $5 for error confirmation, plus shipping both ways. By the way, Report this Post to the Staff
mikediamond Pillar of the Community United States 2737 Posts	Posted 09/27/2011 6:00 pm I'm inclined to believe that this is a genuine missing clad error. If so, it should be about a gram underweight (4.67 grams). Any coin shop or jewelry store will be able to weigh it for you. Error coin writer and researcher. Report this Post to the Staff

A Postal scale accurate to .1 oz, reading .2 oz could actually be anywhere from .15 oz to .25 oz. (4.83 grams to 7.05 grams) That is way too wide a range. We need a reading accurate to .1 grams (.003 oz) Report this Post to the Staff
