rkennedy1945 Valued Member United States 130 Posts	Posted 12/15/2021 12:07 pm I found the 1966 quarter in my bank rolls today that weighs only 5.33 grams rather than the 5.67 grams. It has some discoloration but not terribly worn. Is this common on coins for weights to vary this % amount? Report this Post to the Staff

Spence Moderator United States 34416 Posts	Posted 12/15/2021 4:45 pm I agree that the surface discoloration is most likely due to environmental exposure. That might have also contributed to the weight loss, although the circulation wear is also pretty heavy on this one.

I am not sure why you stated it's "not terribly worn" when obviously it is heavily worn from circulation. I agree, environmentally damaged post mint. Looks like a formly buried coin. No premium, just damage. Value: 25 cents, sorry. Report this Post to the Staff
