kurtyb New Member United States 5 Posts	Posted 03/13/2007 3:15 pm I just stumbled upon a 2001 D Vermont Quarter that has a thicker rim than a standard quarter. (Looks like a stamping error) I only found this because it does not fit in a vending machine :) On a scale it weighs the same though .. Any ideas of what I have? Thanks!

Gary Burke Rest in Peace United States 3730 Posts	Posted 03/13/2007 3:58 pm kurtyb, Just wanted to welcome you to the forum. Can't answer your question, but I found a very similar Statehood Quarter, except it was a Massachusetts. Again, welcome, and I hope one of our error experts can help with your question.

Becky Pillar of the Community United States 954 Posts	Posted 03/13/2007 5:27 pm Usually these are spooned or coins that were caught in dryers. The edges are taller then they should be. People take a spoon and tap on the edge of a coin to make them into rings. It takes a long time, but works very well. Report this Post to the Staff
kurtyb New Member United States 5 Posts	Posted 03/13/2007 5:36 pm Thanks Becky :) Though that should mean that the diameter of the coin gets smaller with this process. I took a micrometer to this puppy, and is in spec diameter wise Kurt Report this Post to the Staff

SsuperDdave Moderator United States 23522 Posts	Posted 03/13/2007 7:13 pm Interesting. It would most definitely be under diameter if spooned. Can you mic a couple of points on the inside of the coin, compared to a "stock" one? Report this Post to the Staff
kurtyb New Member United States 5 Posts	Posted 03/13/2007 8:09 pm Lol Becky! I actually went to a prominent coin shop that had both the scale and the mic :) Both of the owners were scratching their heads ha ha ! Dave, I should have time Thursday to go back to the coin shop to measure the inside .. I'll also measure the thickness from the center. I'd can also present a set of macro's to upload by then as well.. Thanks you two! Kurt Report this Post to the Staff
