SomeGreatLuster New Member United States 15 Posts	Posted 09/19/2019 2:13 pm Hello Everyone, I came across this while searching through some coins. It is the exact size if a quarter and weighs 6.3 grams. It is jind of magnetic when I place a strong magnet to it. When I reflect it in the right light you can make out some images. Like die clashing maybe? Is this still considered a blank planchet? Can anyone tell me if this is a legitimate error or is it post mint damage? thanks everyone Report this Post to the Staff

Jim0815 Pillar of the Community United States 5239 Posts	Posted 09/19/2019 2:37 pm Ideally a quarter should weigh 5.670 grams. It is difficult to see any type of images other than some type of blank with the pics provided. Being magnetic has me a little stumped. What is it's diameter? I think at least we can rule out it being a quarter planchet if it weighs 6.3 grams. Edited by Jim0815 09/19/2019 2:40 pm Report this Post to the Staff
moxking Rest in Peace United States 17900 Posts	Posted 09/19/2019 4:05 pm No US coin I can think of is 6.3, or even close. If you hold it with a quarter how do the sizes compare? Report this Post to the Staff
oriole Pillar of the Community Canada 5239 Posts	Posted 09/19/2019 5:53 pm I see no reason to think that it is a US 25 cent blank planchet. A lot of things can be the diameter of a US quarter, such as a blank token. Also, what is it made of? Can you see any cladding? Report this Post to the Staff

Conder101 Bedrock of the Community United States 17884 Posts	Posted 09/20/2019 1:10 pm No raised proto-rims. Probably just a slug, but possibly an older one made to pass as a quarter back when quarters were silver. Weight is right. Report this Post to the Staff
SomeGreatLuster New Member United States 15 Posts	Posted 09/21/2019 12:23 am Thanks so much for the replies you guys. I have uploaded some more images that might help. It might be a foreign blank actually because I found it at the flea market from a coin dealer who focused on South American Coins, but I actually found it in a huge random container he had of modern American coins. I guess I have to just categorize it as an unknown planchet or something? There seems to be a reddish hue like a copper layer underlying. Report this Post to the Staff
