CoinChat89 Valued Member United States 86 Posts	Posted 11/03/2024 3:06 pm I came across this 2007-P Montana Quarter and noticed it looked smaller than usual so I weighed it. It weighs somewhere between 5.3 to 5.4 grams (for reference traditional quarters weigh in at 5.6 to 5.7 grams on this scale). I held it side by side with a regular quarter and it is smaller. it also looks like it's missing the sharp outter rim part. The rim width is thinner than a traditional quarter. Thoughts? (Second time posting as the first time my images didn't upload, sorry. I'm new here lol) Edited by CoinChat89 11/03/2024 3:07 pm Report this Post to the Staff

It looks to me like this coin has been mechanically damaged by grinding off of some of the rims. That would account for the oddly thin edge and the below mint-spec weight.

Greasy Fingers Pillar of the Community United States 7010 Posts	Posted 11/03/2024 11:01 pm This is a coin that would require calipers to tell if this is a true error or like others have stated just messed with by grinding the edge/rim. If, if the center of this quarter is thinner than normal than maybe the blanks were taken from dime stock. We know in 1970 the Denver mint made this error, but with those quarters the devices were not fully struck due to the thinness. Where as the posters is fully struck, so I would gander to say (after all this thought...)....I fall into the PMD group. Report this Post to the Staff
