cwb1877 Pillar of the Community United States 1659 Posts	Posted 08/01/2012 8:50 pm to the forum! What does it weigh? A normally struck 1966 quarter should weigh 5.67 grams, or maybe just slightly less depending on wear. Could you provide pics of both sides of the whole coin? Report this Post to the Staff
llmyr71 Valued Member United States 62 Posts	Posted 08/01/2012 9:23 pm Thank you for the fast reply and the warm welcome! The quarter weighs a wee bit less...5.51 g not a huge significance. We do have more pics. I will have my husband post them asap. But I will tell you the edge has the gold tone with a light line copper. Just weird. We have scoured the Internet looking for anything similiar and even remotely close was a nickel planchet but coin weighs more. Thanks for the help! Report this Post to the Staff

mikediamond Pillar of the Community United States 2738 Posts	Posted 08/02/2012 08:29 am It could be discolored. Or it could be a struck counterfeit. These are often struck on copper or copper-alloy planchets that are plated before the strike. Error coin writer and researcher. Report this Post to the Staff
cwb1877 Pillar of the Community United States 1659 Posts	Posted 08/03/2012 8:53 pm Since the weight is so close to what it is supposed to weigh, I'd guess you have a normally struck quarter that is discolored with a bit of wear. Quote: the edge has the gold tone with a light line copper. If it were struck on a five-cent planchet, it wouldn't have this and it would only weigh 5 grams. Report this Post to the Staff
