Pgwinter New Member United States 6 Posts	Posted 02/01/2021 4:07 pm I recently came across an odd 1982 quarter in my pocket change. It felt lighter than other quarters, and the appearance looks different. I weighed the quarter and it weighs 5.4grams less than 5.7. Is there any information about this quarter variety? Please see attached. Report this Post to the Staff

On the Obverse the highpoints and rims are missing and on the Reverse, the Eagles breast feathers are missing. Possibly enough material was removed along with a tolerance of .195 to make the difference. Report this Post to the Staff

If you did have something of note, fingerprints destroy numismatic value. Just fyi. to the CCF! Report this Post to the Staff
