Lightnin New Member United States 3 Posts	Posted 11/26/2020 8:27 pm Figure it's a fake but wanted to see what's people on here think. Looks a little thinner and feels lighter than a original. It doesn't have a ring to it when flipped in the air. My grandma cashed her check back in 69 and received it in her change. Afraid it was fake my dad (17 at the time) gave her 50 cents for it and kept it. It's neat. Report this Post to the Staff

ratman4762 Pillar of the Community United States 2520 Posts	Posted 11/26/2020 9:01 pm looks fake to me. I've got some fake Washington quarters that have similar appearance. I can bend them with my fingers Report this Post to the Staff

Lightnin New Member United States 3 Posts	Posted 11/26/2020 9:13 pm Cant bend it with our fingers. Don't have a scale that does small increments. If we run across a way to weigh it we will. Report this Post to the Staff
just carl Bedrock of the Community United States 20753 Posts	Posted 11/26/2020 11:03 pm Weigh yourself without that coin, then weigh yourself with that coin. Then subtract the first weight from the second one. Report this Post to the Staff
sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21786 Posts	Posted 11/26/2020 11:14 pm That's how I weigh my dog !! Actually, it is possible to find the weight of suspect coin in a slab using the same technique, and compare with known genuine coin and slab combination. Report this Post to the Staff
