 I split your post so it stands alone and will get its own attention. Normal weight is 5.670 grams with a mint tolerance of .227+/- so yours is close to normal. Factoring in circulation wear, I think your coin is a spender.I also changed your title from 1973 to 1972. John1  |

with John1 - it is on the light side of normal given the amount of wear this coin shows. |

That scale says the coin weighs less than 5.2 grams; which, I'm pretty sure, is outside tolerance. Either there's a problem with your scale or the coin really is underweight.

What John1 said; coin is close to normal. factoring in circulation wear. Coin is a spender.

That scale says 5.16, not 5.76. If the scale is correct, that quarter is not anywhere near normal weight. Granted it doesn't look perfect, but it doesn't look very deteriorated either. So I would very much doubt that corrosion would be the cause.

Perhaps an edge view, sandwiched between two normal quarters for comparison?

The weight is well below acceptable tolerances. It was struck on a planchet derived from rolled-thin quarter dollar stock.

Nice find. Next time hold the coin by the sides so as not to leave finger prints on both obverse and reverse. Esp after eating little Debbie's nutty buddies. Also to the CCF |
