Thump1 Valued Member United States 369 Posts	Posted 09/08/2023 10:38 pm Have you ever seen a quarter like this? The Silver clad on east side of the coin protrudes 132nd of an inch beyond the copper and it has no Ridge marks. But the copper has Ridge marks Report this Post to the Staff

Thump1 Valued Member United States 369 Posts	Posted 09/08/2023 11:11 pm First of all if you can explain to me how the core of that quarter has ridges and it is smaller diameter than exterior of the quarter with no ridges. If you could explain to me as possible I will take care of your plumbing and your house for the rest of my life at the charge. I prepared dryers in my 48 years as a plumber, never saw any coin where on the inside more than the outside. Why is it possible that when these materials were pressed together it was a mistake.

Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 73628 Posts	Posted 09/08/2023 11:33 pm It's been damaged, after it left the U.S Mint. Nothing like this can happen at the mint. Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff
SamCoin Pillar of the Community United States 3237 Posts	Posted 09/08/2023 11:58 pm Caused by an acid that preferentially corroded the copper core over the copper-nickel cladding. Certainly not an error. The reeding is still visible because the acid acts on the whole copper core at the same rate, preserving but shrinking the devices. I'll gladly take you up on that offer to do my plumbing for life! Edited by SamCoin 09/09/2023 12:02 am Report this Post to the Staff

lcutler Pillar of the Community United States 1655 Posts	Posted 09/09/2023 04:33 am It dissolves the copper evenly, so while the high points of the ridges get lower, so do the low points. This retains the ridges while reducing the entire copper core. Report this Post to the Staff

Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 09/09/2023 08:21 am SamCoin is correct. Not a Dryer Coin, but an acid victim. Report this Post to the Staff

Dearborn Moderator United States 94728 Posts	Posted 09/09/2023 10:25 am Yep, Sam got it - This was exposed to an acid of some sort and it dissolved the softer copper core. Collecting since 1972.
