Dearborn Moderator United States 94795 Posts	Posted 09/04/2023 10:01 pm This is a stained or heavily toned quarter, if it were missing a clad layer, it would weight lighter than normal and look like copper. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember.

Petespockets55 Pillar of the Community United States 5770 Posts	Posted 09/05/2023 04:42 am Nice image of the rim but the weight really needs to be determined to confirm it's missing a layer. Words of encouragement are one of the major food groups. We need to consume them regularly to thrive and grow. Report this Post to the Staff

If you are going to be serious at all about coins you need to purchase one. Without an accurate weight all we can do with this coin is speculate based on your photos. I speculate that it's environmental toning/staining. Take a look at my other hobby ... http://www.jk-dk.art Report this Post to the Staff

Brandmeister Pillar of the Community United States 6463 Posts	Posted 09/05/2023 08:55 am You can get a scale accurate to 2 decimal places (in grams) on Amazon for $10. Report this Post to the Staff
John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 09/05/2023 09:07 am If you are going to buy a scale,best to get one that reads down to 0.001 and not 0.01. John1 Report this Post to the Staff
SamCoin Pillar of the Community United States 3237 Posts	Posted 09/05/2023 10:38 am @John three decimal places is way overkill since the third place will be trivial within mint tolerances for any coin. One vs. two decimal places is the cutoff that matters. Report this Post to the Staff
