Sanaul Valued Member 159 Posts	Posted 12/20/2021 10:43 am Seeing that the edge is perfect like a normal quarter might be miss annealed maybe ? Mr wexler said check the edge there would be no oxidation but I don't know what do you think? Report this Post to the Staff

Bumpkin Pillar of the Community United States 509 Posts	Posted 12/20/2021 11:38 am This a normal Quarter with who knows what on it. I would highly recommend not using a Dremel tool on any coin regardless of its condition. Nor would I recommend wiping a coin with anything at all. If you do happen to come across an IA planchet, and do any of the above, you would have completely ruined any value it may have. There is also more to the equation than a clean reeded edge in determining a real IA. Report this Post to the Staff
