It is raised up around the hole on both sides of the coin. The second sentence literally negates the first. Tell me how that could happen under all those tons of pressure. Shop CCF Members on eBay.

Tafulk New Member United States 4 Posts	Posted 08/19/2022 01:50 am A quarter with no errors of that year with the cupronickel layers comprising 1/3 of total weight, the coin's overall composition is therefore 8.33% nickel, 91.67% copper. Its weight is 5.670 grams (0.1823 troy oz, or 0.2000 avoirdupois oz). The quarter I have weighs 5.5 grams. It is not magnetic at all. Could it have been a bad planchet that had a foreign material inside the planchet that is harder than the planchet itself. Report this Post to the Staff
lcutler Pillar of the Community United States 1658 Posts	Posted 08/19/2022 04:34 am Absolutely no way that could have happened during or before minting. Any abnormality in the planchet would have been flattened out during striking, the fact that the metal is raised around the hole is further proof that it happened after minting. Simple case of post mint damage. Edited by lcutler 08/19/2022 04:35 am Report this Post to the Staff
nickelsearcher Moderator United States 15469 Posts	Posted 08/19/2022 05:46 am to the CCF You are being very resistant to the fact that numerous experts have told you this is post mint damage. So - I'm not going to argue with you but agree this is a spender. Take a look at my other hobby ... http://www.jk-dk.art Report this Post to the Staff

Parnelli917 Valued Member United States 392 Posts	Posted 08/19/2022 11:03 am This is just a theory. The nail that Petespocket55 posted also looks like the nails used for shoeing horses. Farriers also still use a lot of heat at times to custom bend horseshoes. Many have cross hatched heads. If I were to guess, someone might have heated a couple of shoe nails and somehow used a vice to make these impressions. Why? Just to mess with us! Report this Post to the Staff
