Vaslin Pillar of the Community United States 914 Posts	Posted 07/08/2007 11:02 pm I wouldn't say quarter since they are 24.3 mm - Other than that, I'm stumped. Report this Post to the Staff

hunter20ga Pillar of the Community United States 1173 Posts	Posted 07/09/2007 3:11 pm Whatever it is, you likely can turn a profit on it, or keep it for your collection. I'm betting its struck on a foreign planchet. Report this Post to the Staff
coppercoins Pillar of the Community United States 7629 Posts	Posted 07/09/2007 4:23 pm Possibly struck on stock intended for quarters...meaning the planchet was cut to half dollar size, but was the thickness of a quarter. Unlikely but possible. Report this Post to the Staff
zacharycash Pillar of the Community United States 668 Posts	Posted 07/09/2007 10:40 pm I think it may have been struck on a planchet as thick as a quarter. If it were struck on an actual quarter sized one the date, the edge and liberty would have been cut off. Kind of strange Report this Post to the Staff
