chzman Pillar of the Community United States 1137 Posts	Posted 10/27/2014 2:33 pm This planchet was sold to me as a type ll quarter planchet but it is missing the copper layer, could this be a silver planchet, I really do not want to abrade it in any way to run the silver test? 5.6 g 25.3 mm diameter 1.4 mm thick Report this Post to the Staff

chzman Pillar of the Community United States 1137 Posts	Posted 10/27/2014 2:46 pm This is a silver looking coin, there is no gold color to it, also the weights do not seem to match up. http://www.usmint.gov/about_the_min...ecifications Report this Post to the Staff

chzman Pillar of the Community United States 1137 Posts	Posted 10/30/2014 7:54 pm I thought they matched up within tolerances the weight is spot on. Report this Post to the Staff
rottnrog Valued Member United States 152 Posts	Posted 10/30/2014 9:41 pm Silver planchets are 6.25 grams and 24.3mm. Yours is too light and too big for a quarter. Report this Post to the Staff

Halo1st Pillar of the Community United States 2775 Posts	Posted 10/30/2014 11:50 pm Rookies opinion could be wrong, just going by pics and provided info. The blank looks to be pressed creating a rim on side pictured. That said, it's not showing the usual characteristics of a US type II quarter planchet run through the upset mill, nor type I prior too. After crunching the numbers, it doesn't seem to meet silver specs, but some similarities to clad. I'm no expert, but comparison pic to the normal quarter is not helping the cause that it's a US quarter planchet, as it seems to have a larger diameter and greater thickness. Does other side of blank show anything useful to help narrow it down? Leaning towards a foreign planchet or other(?) thus far. Thanks, Doug. Report this Post to the Staff
chzman Pillar of the Community United States 1137 Posts	Posted 10/31/2014 12:49 am The other side is the same, this one may be out of reach, unless I knew exactly what coins were minted for other countries at our mints. Report this Post to the Staff
