TerDev New Member New Zealand 5 Posts	Posted 06/01/2024 9:38 pm Hi CoinCommunity I've been given a few coins by a relative who grew up in the US, but then moved down to the South Pacific where we are, so I'm a little lost as to what I am looking at. This is the second of 3 that I can't quite figure out so I was hoping for a steer on value etc. This is a 1967 Quarter, no mint obviously, but the stamping (?) is incomplete all the way around as in there is the copper showing on the 'edge-half' from the obverse (and a little bit of oxidisation ont exposed copper). Seems like the letters touch the rim in places on the reverse too? Cheers J * Moved by Staff to a more appropriate forum. * Report this Post to the Staff

cladking Pillar of the Community United States 2271 Posts	Posted 06/01/2024 11:12 pm That's pretty typical for a 1967 quarter except most of them are gone now. The copper appears on one side because the cladding material is extremely thin and when the planchet is sheered from the strip the dies spread the cladding across the edge of the coin. The coin was not well struck but this too is typical. Time don't fly, it bounds and leaps. Report this Post to the Staff

That's great to know. J Report this Post to the Staff

So the copper side will wear out much faster. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember.
