Keep it in your silver stash. 2. You have a '72-D quarter with circulation wear and surface discoloration, perhaps from being buried. This one is a spender.

Ghostguy808 New Member United States 6 Posts	Posted 02/24/2020 8:12 pm Yeah that one it is super dirty. But the copper content on the outer layer made me think about keeping or not. Definitely keeping the silver for my collection though Report this Post to the Staff
Spence Moderator United States 34427 Posts	Posted 02/24/2020 8:14 pm @gg808, ok well, the investment to keep it is only 25¢, so if you like it, then yes you absolutely should keep it.

Ghostguy808 New Member United States 6 Posts	Posted 02/24/2020 8:17 pm The 72 quarter is thinner then other quarters I've compared it to. Mabye a factor in missing clad layer. If it is missing a layer I'd keep it regardless of condition Report this Post to the Staff
Spence Moderator United States 34427 Posts	Posted 02/24/2020 8:23 pm SOrry I misunderstood your question at first about this coin. I'm quite sure it isn't missing a clad layer, but if you post the weight of this coin, then we can confirm whether it is just surface discoloration or an actual mint error.
