Lookin4the1 New Member United States 10 Posts	Posted 11/03/2016 08:36 am Just wondering if anyone might have a clue about what might've happened to this quarter? It weighs only 4.6 or 4.7g. it's slightly thinner and has missing metal pieces out of it? Looks melted kind of? Any information is appreciated thanks Report this Post to the Staff
