Hello, everyone I am new here in this forum and I am also new at coin collecting. I need to ask for information of a coin that a friend give to me. It is a (US coin) 1965 quarter it is struck with only copper. It it look exactly like a normal quarter but it has the color of copper and it is really thin. Can someone tell me how rare are they. Also, how do I get an appraisal for that coin. If someone can help me with that information I would greatly appreciated. Thank you. Wish everyone a goo day.

It's possible it was struck on a cent planchet, which would make it fairly valuable. If you could post some photos that would be great.

It seems there's no cladding on the coin.

Use the Macro Function on your cam.
Take it at a bird eye shot.

Welcome to the forum this is a find I have never heard of and I have been told the rare stuff to look for by metalman for the last few monthsit would be a lot better to look at if you had a better pic.

The quarter looks like it was struck on a planchet which
split before strike. These would be a little more valuable
than one split after strike. In 1965 the process to bond
the three strips of metal which comprise the clad coin had
hardly been perfected. They pushed the sheets of metal to-
gether under very high pressure and detonated dynamite above
them to complete the bonding. Until 1968 it was not uncommon
for the clad to separate before or after being struck.
You'd need an error expert for valuation but I'd guess it
would be in the $50 area. A states quarter like this is quite
valuable.
There are other things it could be and a coin can't be auth-
enticated or graded from a picture, of course.
Time don't fly, it bounds and leaps.

Welcome to the forum! I agree with Cladking. It looks like the outer layers are missing and were missing prior to striking. If you have a macro setting on your camera, you can take clearer pics so that we can see the detail. I'd really like to see clear pics of this one.  |

Im not sure that we can assess a split planchet without a clear pic of the edge of the coin and a weight? does your coin look similar to this one ?   There are a few different ways that the clad layer can be removed or even copper plated to resemble a coin that is missing the clad layer. Rick Edited by Metalman

Thank you Metalman for those picture. My coin look exactly like what you on picture but it is a 1965 coin instead of 1993. The edge of the coin is really thin and it still have great definition like it was brand new. Well hopefully someone can help me with this information. Thank you everyone for sharing you opion. I do really appreciate all the help.

Hi Lastdevil
There is really not much more that can be told from a picture and Description.
Can you give us a very exact weight of the coin ?
