I have to step out to run some errands and will pick up a better scale before I return. The scale I have bounces back and forth between 5 and 6 grams.

Looks like a lead cast! Yes, weigh the coin as previously mentioned.

Not an expert, but it does look a little porous.

Could be a cast fake.

4.7 grams ... That's the best I can do.
Comments or questions?

4.7 grams. That is way too light to be silver. Has to be a counterfeit then.

Still thinking sand cast There is no evidence of a seam that I can make out. What do you all think of the edge? Also, I'm not seeing evidence of Flanagan's initials. Thoughts?

No matter how it was mad3, it is a counterfeit.
Just look at the reeding, not close to a genuine quarter.

Yes, it almost "seams" as if the edge is handmade. That would be a LOT of effort and for what?
