Been following this thread and IMHO
i believe this coin to be not only genuine (not an after mint reproduction) but also not a reprocessed quarter.
I do not have the coin in hand so I cannot determine exactly
what it may be (i.e.: silver/clad etc.) However, if that coin was plated I want the name of the company or individual who did the job. I'll send them my plating jobs.

one of the errors that could be is the fact that when it was stuck on the back side it bent the coin from the feet to the the edges

That is not possible for the simple fact that a coin is struck on both sides simultaneously. Any dealer that makes such a rediculous claim is a dealer to not be trusted for reliable information regarding errors. The only way a coin can be bent in the striking process is if the collar fails. The collar is also known as the third die and it defines the diameter of a coin and holds the planchet between the dies during striking. If the collar does not engage when a coin is struck, it will not have reeding on the edge but your coin is fully reeded so this scenario is not possible.

As an aside, you gotta use some punctuation and paragraph breaks man, those posts are a mess and very difficult to read with the numerous run-on sentences

Hello, stumbled upon this while googling this quarter that caught my attention today at work. Little background... I'm always looking for silver coins in my change and checking dates. I always seperate my silver when find or even wheat pennies... So back to today. I grab my change out of my desk for my every morning walk to the cafe for a much needed morning coffee. So as I'm pulling quarters out, one hits another and chimes like a bell, the same as when I hear a silver quarter...thinking how could I have missed a pre 64 quarter? But it wasn't, it was 1974. Odd, I think to myself. So I examine the edges and notice a bit of copper color between the "silver". Also, no mint mark...So after stumbiling on to this thread and one older thread I just thought I would seek some answers. One this to add I put the quarter on a scale for weight... And it came in at 5.65g

Here is a link to some pics I took of it. *** Edited by Staff - Please use pics that do not require a login. ***

I have a 1974 quarter with the exact same description. Not in the greatest shape, but missing a right talon, the "i" is unclear and no mint mark, with noticeable copper in between. I realize I'm a little late for this forum, but curious nonetheless.
