Roma2021 Pillar of the Community Italy 1130 Posts	Posted 12/13/2022 11:04 am Hello everyone, When I find these,a lot of 1964 quarters in Rome, they are nearly all UNC and weigh 6.25 exactly... This one is 6.10-6.13 on my scale. It came in a post mint product set...with a correct Kennedy and dime... Any thoughts? Report this Post to the Staff

Dearborn Moderator United States 96071 Posts	Posted 12/13/2022 4:42 pm It could have been from a rolled thin plate before getting punched out or near the end of the plate where a constant thickness is harder to maintain. I doesn't have to be that noticeable to be slightly under weight. But as stated, still within tolerances. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember.

datadragon Pillar of the Community United States 1648 Posts	Posted 12/13/2022 10:28 pm A coin struck on a planchet punched out of stock that was rolled too thin on the rolling mill is called a rolled thin planchet but as an example, a 1974 quarter was struck on a rolled-thin planchet. It weighs 4.92 grams instead of the normal 5.67 grams (non silver normal weight 5.67). So a silver quarter at normal weight of 6.25 g with a tolerance as mentioned of +/- .19 might allow down to 6.06g or so before it may be worthwhile to consider what else it might be. This does not guarantee it is not something else such as discussed here in this article, but most likely is just within a tolerance difference unless other things stand out to suggest otherwise. An example might be if a weight matches a known foreign planchet finding for that same year when searching auction history. https://varietyerrors.com/wrong-pla...price-guide/ Edited by datadragon 12/13/2022 10:33 pm Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 12/14/2022 1:33 pm It is a silver quarter, so it is worth more than face value. Report this Post to the Staff
