Please rotate pics properly before posting. Use the free image optimizer. John1 EDIT: Weight Edited by John1 02/23/2019 1:14 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Halo1st Pillar of the Community United States 2775 Posts	Posted 02/23/2019 1:06 pm I'm thinking this years normal weight at 5.67 grams +/- 0.227 grams. Would like to see reverse and edge image to confirm or rule out my initial thoughts. The image optimizer can aid with the image size issue. I know the directions are not the best or step by step, but does work with a little patients. Most computer driven image software editors can reduce image size as well. Thanks, Doug. PS: I always say it my head, but often forget to put it in writing. Edited by Halo1st 02/23/2019 1:35 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 74533 Posts	Posted 02/23/2019 3:55 pm Just a damaged Quarter. It's a spender. Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff
Halo1st Pillar of the Community United States 2775 Posts	Posted 02/23/2019 4:40 pm Looking at the edge, seems a bit recessed. That suggests acid has been eating way at it. Pending the acid, the Cu, copper core tends to dissolve quicker than the clads outer shell. Thanks, Doug. Report this Post to the Staff
