tweak800 Pillar of the Community United States 1249 Posts	Posted 03/17/2015 2:24 pm Ok no pictures are needed if I have to I will get some . Simple question I have a 1965 quarter and it sounds different than the rest . This edge definitely has clad or 2 layers. The thing is the sound of the coin is definitely different with a silver sound to it. Not mistakable. If I could upload audio you would think it's a silver quarter . What would be the cause of this? Is it at all possible there is a 40% silver quarter . Why does it sound so different? Report this Post to the Staff

eagle_eye_18 Valued Member United States 449 Posts	Posted 03/17/2015 4:17 pm For the dime thick quarter you are looking for it to weigh in between 4.2 and 4.4 grams. Look for lack of rim reeds and poor features. This type of error is know as a wrong stock error. Report this Post to the Staff
