Clueless Collector New Member United States 22 Posts	Posted 02/17/2017 06:13 am I found a similar post, but theirs had a "JF" mark, whereas mine has no stamps at all. It seems that it is lighter than other quarters from various years and to be in excellent condition considering the year ('63). I got it from a quarters machine for pool tables at a local bar. I read that it could be a proof. Can anyone please take a look and give me their input if it's worth anything and if so, an estimate? It would be greatly appreciated. Report this Post to the Staff

Conder101 Bedrock of the Community United States 17884 Posts	Posted 02/17/2017 11:45 am He said it "seems" lighter so he didn't weigh it just a subjective guess from holding it in his hand. A VERY inaccurate judgement. Unless you have a lot of experience and practice the typical person can't detect less than a 5 gram difference in weight between two objects. With training you might be able to detect a 1 gram difference. I can see what appears to be the JF initials on the truncation of the bust. Report this Post to the Staff

Earle42 Bedrock of the Community United States 10034 Posts	Posted 02/17/2017 2:24 pm Umm... Actually this one looks a bit special to me. I believe its a type B REV. The type B was an error made using a proof die on a circulation strike quarter. Look at the larger gap between the E and S in STATES on the REV. Its worth more than melt.

Clueless Collector New Member United States 22 Posts	Posted 03/26/2017 9:58 pm Thanks for the responses, especially Earle42. Any ideas on what the value could be? I have no idea where to find that out Report this Post to the Staff

Earle42 Bedrock of the Community United States 10034 Posts	Posted 03/27/2017 8:30 pm circulated condition is about 5.00. If the condition was mint state, then the price is higher.
