The edges put me questions. Everybody say annealing and I do contradict but I do not see. why the edges do not show nickel?
The "MrBreeze" mention come from a bank box, and me I say in the last time I see similar coins come from China. No edge nickel.

A Question on annealing.
The annealing occurs after the blanks are punched out of the sheet but before they get struck, correct?
Wouldn't the discoloration be on the edge like the OP's images seem to show?
Words of encouragement are one of the major food groups.
We need to consume them regularly to thrive and grow.

@silviosi didn't understand what your quibble was, but quarters don't have solid nickel edges because they have a copper core... not understanding your point. Also, seems very unlikely that there would be 9 Chinese counterfeits in a box of newly circulating 2021 quarters. Your whole argument makes very little sense.

MrBreeze, Looking at your photos again, I am wondering if your white balance is a bit out of adjustment? Using a 14% gray scale as a background might be a good idea? John1  |

Got the 2 that I sent in for grading back today. Came back MS65 Improperly Annealed. I have 9 others from the same box with varying degrees of this same discoloration. Would you recommend grading those?   |

Sell these and see if it's going to be worth the effort.

Congrats, those look fantastic in the slabs! I agree with Willburton. Try to sell one of the two and see if it's worth the money to slab more.

Keep the ones you find in a hard plastic tube. That will keep them save. The soft plastic tubes have PVC in them and alter the color of coins. If you have some of these soft tubes, you use them for circulation finds.

Great idea on selling to see the market, however, here is my conundrum- These 2 were the best looking of the 11 I found. These came back at an MS65 . If I sell them and find out it is worth it and the next bunch come back at a lower grade then I would have sold off my best coins first. So I think I may send 2 more in and see how they come back then start selling or maybe by that time someone else may have had the opportunity to sell some slabbed versions. Decisions decisions.
On a separate note - I did look at the other 9 and I really don't see any striations like other have found. Mine seem to be very uniform in color both obverse and reverse.

My opinion is this is some kind of shot blasting to clean off welded areas. Look at the rims and letters very carefully and especially his ribbon in hair. I am trying to post some that have a purple color around the rim from the heat of repair welding. I've been a 1st class manual machinist for 40 years. I know something about metalworking

To answer to the questions addressed to me from Peter and Sam:
The reason why the edges are not colored it is simple. the struck has three major parts: anvil, hammer and collar. When struck the coin is in the collar. after struck it is eject from the collar and due to the friction with the collar the improper annealing color will disappear. This it is the explanation. Fred Weinberg stay on the same page with me.

@Silviosi. I'm aware, but you are missing Fred's point - this coin has what he would call "bright" edges. Usually grading companies like NGC send these off to experts for evaluation, so it wouldn't shock me if Fred or a similarly qualified expert like Mike Diamond was the one who attributed these and declared them genuine.

@SamCoin. "bright edges" yes it is another point, but in my opinion only when you have the coin in front of you could be well diagnose. Who can know which expert diagnose. I have no idea who. I will like to know Fred's and Mike point on this bright edges. I will look to see if I find some articles write by them, if not maybe to ask directly. Years ago I had a short conversation with Fred about and him agreed with the points I mention before.
