Dearborn Moderator United States 97307 Posts	Posted 03/28/2024 10:08 pm nice job. I think it looks like the nickel myself (do you have any older nickels of about the same year to do this test with?) If so please do it again and have your 55 quarter next to the nickel for easier comparison. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember.

Dearborn Moderator United States 97307 Posts	Posted 03/28/2024 10:10 pm But you can see how white that actual silver quarter is compared to this 55 quarter you have. it is much darker, which tells me it is not silver. I sure hope some others will pop in and comment on these tests soon. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember.

Seeker_101 Pillar of the Community United States 1791 Posts	Posted 03/29/2024 10:47 am Have you ping teste it? The comparison between the old nickel and quarter have very similar appearance. I by no means am an expert by the way. I have seen videos with coins struck on wrong/foreign planchets and the only way they get known is by having it graded. If it is a true planchet error then it should be extremely valuable. If not, then the grading would be some wasted money but you would know for sure what you have. Report this Post to the Staff
uruman Pillar of the Community United States 5193 Posts	Posted 03/29/2024 11:30 am Seeker , no I haven't done the ping test, but I think that I'll have to send it in to be sure what it's . Report this Post to the Staff
Dearborn Moderator United States 97307 Posts	Posted 03/29/2024 1:00 pm Thanks for all the extra images - I think that this is an 'off-metal' quarter. (struck on a Nickel planchet. I think your next step is to a Local Coin shop to see what they say. then if all else fails to a TPG (like ANACS). Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget.

uruman Pillar of the Community United States 5193 Posts	Posted 03/29/2024 2:50 pm Dearborn ,Thank you , that was my plan send it to Anacs , my local coin shops in Houston aren't very knowledgeable about errors , I deal with them often . Report this Post to the Staff
Cujohn Pillar of the Community United States 7174 Posts	Posted 03/29/2024 6:10 pm My thought was punched out of nickel stock? I'm not a mathematician, can someone figure out what a quarter planchet would weigh if punched out of nickel stock? Report this Post to the Staff
