Nicopiko New Member United States 5 Posts	Posted 07/19/2023 11:55 pm Found a quarter that looked thicker than others 1972 P mint mark. Weight is in the range at 5.7 grams. Report this Post to the Staff

SamCoin Pillar of the Community United States 3237 Posts	Posted 07/19/2023 11:57 pm One is circulated, the other has square, relatively fresh edges. Moreover, the edge thickness depends a lot on the strike and the freshness of the dies. If the weight is within range, it's just a normal quarter. Report this Post to the Staff

The better scale does not even cost all that much more either. I guess I just don't understand John1 Report this Post to the Staff
oddguy Pillar of the Community United States 4135 Posts	Posted 07/20/2023 09:15 am John1; There is nothing wrong about your thought process. This coin is a good example that if someone wants to know why it is thicker and " fresh" then the .001 theory would help answer that. Most people just want to know the condition, value and a basic reason why it is the way it is. To me both views are okay. Just depends on the level of collecting you want to be at.
