TTK New Member United Arab Emirates 3 Posts	Posted 02/20/2018 3:30 pm as you can see, there is copper mixed into the (I'm assuming nickel) on the side of the coin, and the back seems to be upside down in relation to the head (not sure if that is normal) but is this coin rare, and if so, what do you guys think would be its estimated worth, thank you Report this Post to the Staff
SilverDollar2017 Pillar of the Community United States 8715 Posts	Posted 02/20/2018 3:39 pm The coin alignment of your quarter is normal - in the United States, the alignment of coins is called coin alignment - the reverse is upside down compared to the obverse. In some other countries, medal alignment is used, where the reverse and obverse have the same alignment. The copper that is visible on the rim is normal. Report this Post to the Staff
spru Bedrock of the Community United States 12477 Posts	Posted 02/20/2018 3:59 pm Your quarter is completely normal. All quarters and dimes after 1964 will have copper showing on the edge. They are called copper-nickel clad.
