tdziemia Pillar of the Community United States 8031 Posts	Posted 08/08/2018 2:57 pm Unless I am misunderstanding the question, if it were struck on a dime planchet, it would be expected to weigh less than half as much as a quarter. 2.3 g.

Mrortiz Valued Member United States 125 Posts	Posted 08/08/2018 3:05 pm If I recall it weights about 4grams but the Red Book mentioned a 1970 d quarter a little thinner then normal and a little lighter could be stuck on a 10 dime Report this Post to the Staff
Chase007 Pillar of the Community United States 7571 Posts	Posted 08/08/2018 3:24 pm Need to weight the coin first. From the looks of it , it looks like it has an environmental damage, perhaps buried in ground for awhile Report this Post to the Staff
JimmyD Bedrock of the Community Canada 21850 Posts	Posted 08/08/2018 3:25 pm There is no way that quarter you are showing is a 10 cent planchet. If it was struck on a 10cent planchet, it would be smaller and much of the copy on the edges would be missing due to the difference in size plus it would be distorted as it wouldn't be held by the collar when struck.

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 08/08/2018 4:30 pm The error was that they cut the planchets out on dime stock material with quarter sized blanks. This made the blanks lighter. The way you can tell is that the strike will be a lot weaker and the weight a lot lighter. Report this Post to the Staff
Halo1st Pillar of the Community United States 2775 Posts	Posted 08/08/2018 6:08 pm More food for thought. Thanks, Doug. https://www.coinworld.com/news/us-c...-wr.all.html Sorry image links are broken. Quote: Shown here is a 1970-D Washington quarter dollar struck on dime stock. It weighs 4.24 grams. While dime stock quarter dollars can be found in many years between 1965 and 1992, the 1970-D coin is by far the most common date-and-Mint combination. Report this Post to the Staff
