Hello, I'm looking to confirm the 1965 bronze quarter shown in pics. I don't know who or where to take it for appraisal. I don't know what it may or may not be valued at. Can anyone be helpful to me. *** Edited by Staff to remove YELLING. All capital letters is the internet version of yelling. Please do not do it in titles or posts. ***Thank You   |

Welcome to the forum. Sorry to say your coin just suffers from environmental damage. Clad coins that have spent time in or on the ground turn this copperish color. I've been metal detecting for many years and the clad coins always come out like this.

I agree, can you also provide a photo of the edge of the coin.

@Lancencali, please please please don't type with all capital letters--it is the internet equivalent of yelling.

Suggest changing the background on your next set of photos--such as neutral grey or dark blue. The 'orange' wood tone in your current photos may be impacting what we see with the coin.

Thank you to all who replied to my posts. Although a little disappointing I appreciate the honesty. So are the coins that look similar and pop up when searched as very rare and worth $49,000, $17,000 because of lettering die errors that are very similar to my coin not for real? are they fakes, or just a ploy to grab your attention? I don't understand? Mine shows the same lettering as those?
Thanks again. sorry for the yelling in caps!!~ (I didn't know)

Don't know what coins you are searching, there is not to many modern coins worth $49,000.That's why I said to stick around and ask questions. I wouldn't trust anything on utube. Or ebay. |

Do a search for missing cladding on quarters on ebay. Then you will have a better gauge of what they are selling for. But the color and strike is weaker on coins missing a cladding:  Your coin is an outdoor find. They turn a darker red and found by metal detectors.  The longer they are out there, the more the color. If you carried your coin in your pocket for a time, you will see the tops of the highest points, turn normal color. On a missing clad coin, they don't change color, but stay red like in color. |
