Harlequin Duck Coloured Coin 2014
13.7 grams
Had to look at a few before I found it.
Weight (g) 13.7
Lenticular Christmas Tree 2014
13.7 grams
Weight (g) 13.7
Many are listed at 0.5 grams. That is really light, some gold coins maybe, but are smaller than a dime.

I hope they weigh it down good, it might fly away in a puff of wind!  |

Yeah, very odd. I've been going with the 13.7 for all the cupronickel quarters.
But goes right along with my unhappiness with the website. It's really sad that I have to go to third party website to find out what coins are in a particular series.

Strange indeed, someone took the day off for New Years on the Website.
Send them some communication, the squeaky wheel gets the grease.

For example, the coin I linked above is apparently the fourth in the series. What the heck are the other three? There are zero clues on that page. I wouldn't even know what to search because the name of the series isn't there (which doesn't work anyway) and they don't list what's on the other coins.

The first one is nickel plated steel?

The nickel plated steel is 12.61, the cupronickel is 13.7. A lot of the series switch mid-stream.
Thanks CC for the other coins.
Even though they are archived I still think it's incredibly dumb that you can't get a list of the coins in the series on the website of the company that made them, you have to go elsewhere.

That's not consistent with all the others I've done. Ugh.

The tulip also says the edge is serrated, but I honestly think the quarter is plain and only the glass tulip one is serrated... http://www.mint.ca/store/coin/tulip...-prod1100022I think when the webmaster makes a new page, he clones a close existing one. Nothing wrong with that, as long as your thorough and change everything that need to be changed. |

The only 0.5g quarters are the .9999 gold series that took over the title of 'World's smallest gold coin' from the 50c 1/25oz coins a few years back.
