Lightavix New Member United States 2 Posts	Posted 02/27/2018 10:25 am I found this unusual quarter while looking through some change I had on hand. As I am new to coin errors, I have a few questions. I have no clue what error, if it is one, this might be. Additionally, I have been told by some that this might be a possible counterfeit quarter. Any insight into this quarter would be helpful. Initial Observations: -The quarter's ridge seems to be lifted. -The quarter lacks reeding. -The quarter is thicker than normal. -There is an obvious split between copper and nickel, practically 50/50.

Piece like this is normally called a Dryer Coin. Report this Post to the Staff
