Vogobond Valued Member United States 51 Posts	Posted 11/20/2023 11:06 pm Hey guys I've had this quarter for a while, I found it today. It seems like the quarter seems smaller than the same quarter if that year. I put pictures side by side so yall can see. The quarter in question the font and size seems smaller and the obverse I'm losing the word liberty. It goes from big letter to small lettering. Report this Post to the Staff

Spence Moderator United States 34408 Posts	Posted 11/21/2023 03:15 am @vogo, best practice is to only start one thread per coin so I'm merging these two threads. As mentioned by @tun above, the best way to confirm whether you have a quarter struck on a nickel planchet is by weighing it.

bobby131313 Forum Dad United States 24154 Posts	Posted 11/21/2023 08:27 am Here's a little tip. The very first thing you do if you suspect a wrong planchet/metal stike is weight it. The weight doesn't lie. Shop CCF Members on eBay. Report this Post to the Staff

Dearborn Moderator United States 95805 Posts	Posted 11/21/2023 2:33 pm so far it looks normal, if you want us to see the edge of a coin, you should post an image if the edge.
