twohawks Pillar of the Community United States 1551 Posts	Posted 12/20/2022 11:59 pm Yes, this one is a bit of a mouth full, and yes, the description is correct. The coin below I received in change this morning at Star Bucks, and when I was going to toss it into our quarter bucket at the shop it did not feel right. This coin scales in at 4.94 grams or .06 less than a standard nickel but well within normal tolerance. While the images of the date are fuzzy that's because it came from my phone. The coin looks like a hammered high MS coin as well, almost like it came out of an old roll today. Report this Post to the Staff

Spence Moderator United States 34447 Posts	Posted 12/21/2022 07:26 am @two, just to be clear are you saying that this quarter was overstruck on an existing nickel or on a nickel blank?

twohawks Pillar of the Community United States 1551 Posts	Posted 12/21/2022 07:54 am This piece looks to be struck on a Nickel planchet and the coin was struck 2 times. Its diameter is almost a full quarter in size but thin. I will post a few images of the edge in about an hour. The date and quarter dollar clearly show a double strike and the collar edge has an area that has overlapping reeding. Edited by twohawks 12/21/2022 09:16 am Report this Post to the Staff

nick10 Pillar of the Community United States 3207 Posts	Posted 12/21/2022 11:04 am wow, one doesn't see 15 cent pieces very often rather than from a second strike, the oddness on the date might be from stretching of the smaller nickel planchet Report this Post to the Staff
