I looked up information on what the weight was supposed to be. It said 5.67 grams. I know that circulated coins can loose weight through time. So I was curious if they could sometimes weigh more. Doing more research I found the bicentennial quarter weighs 5.75 grams. I didn't notice any other modern quarters weighing over 5.67. So I wondered if this quarter could happen been produced using a leftover bicentennial planchet? Hoping someone knows. Thanks Report this Post to the Staff

That puts the low end at 5.443 grams and the high end at 5.897 grams. Your coin's weight of 5.75 grams would be well within the mint tolerance.

Since yours is a P-mint coin, I would expect it to be near 5.67g as Philly didn't mint any silver quarters during this period. That said, the contemporary silver version of this coin is 90% and weighs 6.3g. I think you have a CuNi coin struck on a rolled-thick planchet.
