uruman Pillar of the Community United States 5193 Posts	Posted 03/28/2024 09:43 am I had these one for a wile now , I just want to confirm that it's PMD ( acid exposed ? ) , as you see the diameter and the thickness is less than it should be just as the weight is only 5.0 gr .

Cujohn Pillar of the Community United States 7174 Posts	Posted 03/28/2024 4:26 pm I'm not so sure. If it was acid, to eat as much as it has on the edge, the devices should be weaker. To me it just doesn't look like acid. The bottom of quarter dollar is weaker than the top. Report this Post to the Staff

Dearborn Moderator United States 95088 Posts	Posted 03/28/2024 7:50 pm the edge is almost fully struck - just weak - the color of the images are terrible - I can't get a handle of the true color of this one. Is this a clad coin? (copper visible on the edge) It weighs as much as a nickel. in fact it is spot on. Is this thinner than a normal quarter? Collecting since 1972.

Dearborn Moderator United States 95088 Posts	Posted 03/28/2024 8:58 pm Quote: You mean smaller in diameter than a normal quarter? Well the reeds are struck up so I was thinking thinner as the metal spread out to get to the collar. But yes, small in diameter is also important. also, I have no idea why I was worried about copper showing on this coins edge - (brain fart I guess) It should be a silver coin, I was thinking an off metal strike like a nickel planchet.. Are the reeds present all the way around this coin? Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember.

uruman Pillar of the Community United States 5193 Posts	Posted 03/28/2024 9:18 pm dearborn, yes all the reeds around the coin are present on the rim . Diameter is 22.5 mm Report this Post to the Staff
uruman Pillar of the Community United States 5193 Posts	Posted 03/28/2024 9:22 pm dearborn , one thing is that it's not completely round it has 22.5 mm and 22.1 on another place Report this Post to the Staff
Dearborn Moderator United States 95088 Posts	Posted 03/28/2024 9:23 pm Well the normal diameter should be 24.3mm No wonder the reeds are weakly struck. Did you do a 'tissue' test yet? place a nickel, a clad quarter, a silver quarter AND this one under the same tissue and see how they compare. (Snap a pic if you please.) Collecting since 1972.
