Nomad2day New Member United States 1 Posts	Posted 07/13/2023 7:41 pm I also have a 1937 Quarter and know something is off. It weights only 4 grams. I don't see any lines in the mold. It really goes thud when dropped. Report this Post to the Staff

HondoB Bedrock of the Community United States 24894 Posts	Posted 07/19/2023 5:53 pm I have two counterfeit Washington quarters. One is not bad, but the other has broken in half. Evidently there was enough economic incentive for people to fake them. Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures Report this Post to the Staff

HondoB Bedrock of the Community United States 24894 Posts	Posted 07/21/2023 2:11 pm The inner surfaces of the break have a pebbled texture. It's not lead, so must be some sort of pot metal. 4.62 g.
