Can anyone tell me the value? It is still clad. Some of the oter border is smaller in diameter. I found it 35 years ago because it sounded different.

@ka, first welcome to CCF. Second, usually those characteristics are found on clad coins that have spent time in an acid bath. However, please post a couple pics of your coin plus the weight. Thx.

If the reeds on the outside are missing and the copper appears eaten away (or if the cladding is all missing) then it may have been dipped into acid. There was a year where the wrong stock material was used (1970-D) that was dime stock.  Note the weakness of the strike? Because the stock was not thick enough, it couldn't strike up) But images would help a lot more. If the full design of the quarter is on the coin, then it was acid dipped. But if the quarter design is partially there, then it might have been a quarter struck on a dime planchet:  This is on a cent planchet, but on a dime, the design would be even smaller on the coin. Just grasping in the dark without images. |

Haha, I have to figure out how to post a picture - I'm kinda tech resistant.
The quarter does not appear to have been in anything corrosive.

Hi, thank you!
Do you have a way to upload images from a phone? It doesn't seem to work.

I tried a couple of times and got the cropped pics with green arrows on them but it said something like there isn't anything in your file? Or directory? Or something.

Interesting, what does it weight?

The mushy details, centered design, and narrow design rim indicate this quarter was immersed in acid for a prolonged period.

Also I would not expect to see full reeding on a dime size planchet if struck on 25c dies.
