bournepiper Valued Member United States 161 Posts	Posted 02/05/2022 4:10 pm Got this coin as part of my tip at work. 1966 quarter. Looks like it just came out of mint it's very shiny, looks new. Obverse has a piece of metal attached ( struck on?) the piece is magnetic, quarter not. Best pics I could get. Report this Post to the Staff

JimmyD Bedrock of the Community Canada 21627 Posts	Posted 02/05/2022 4:46 pm It is something on the coin. You can't have something sticking out out from the rim if it struck in collar. Report this Post to the Staff
