dumprat Valued Member United States 460 Posts	Posted 01/01/2013 09:37 am I found this as I was going throw my change and noticed there was no copper showing on the edge of the coin so I weighed the coin. It weighed 5.9 grams instead of 5.67 it should. Any thoughts on this quarter? Report this Post to the Staff

Indian1 Pillar of the Community United States 3640 Posts	Posted 01/01/2013 9:00 pm Put a small drop of platinum test chemical on the reeding. Or lightly scratch it on your stone first. If a no go on platinum try silver chem. Report this Post to the Staff
