armandoluna Valued Member United States 178 Posts	Posted 05/13/2025 5:51 pm Not really sure what happened to this coin. Greaser possibly or just completely got switched out of set and has post damage? Report this Post to the Staff

Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 73747 Posts	Posted 05/13/2025 6:09 pm What's the weight of your coin? Could be a Greaser or struck on a Rolled Thin Planchet. Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff
JimmyD Bedrock of the Community Canada 21586 Posts	Posted 05/13/2025 6:22 pm Looks more like a light strike than a Greaser. The weight to two decimal points should help. Report this Post to the Staff
armandoluna Valued Member United States 178 Posts	Posted 05/13/2025 6:28 pm The weight is 4.2 grams Report this Post to the Staff
Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 73747 Posts	Posted 05/13/2025 6:35 pm The normal weight of your coin is supposed to be 5.6 grams. 4.2 grams is way underweight. It was struck on a Rolled Thin Planchet. Nice find! https://www.error-ref.com/rolled-thin-planchets/ Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff
armandoluna Valued Member United States 178 Posts	Posted 05/13/2025 6:54 pm I couldn't open the link Errers and does it have any value. Report this Post to the Staff
Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 73747 Posts	Posted 05/13/2025 8:19 pm It definitely does carry a premium over face value. Put it in a 2x2 if you haven't yet. Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff
armandoluna Valued Member United States 178 Posts	Posted 05/13/2025 9:01 pm is it worth getting slabbed or raw on ebay. Report this Post to the Staff
Brandmeister Pillar of the Community United States 6464 Posts	Posted 05/13/2025 10:42 pm Really neat find, and in beautiful condition, too! Report this Post to the Staff
Brandmeister Pillar of the Community United States 6464 Posts	Posted 05/13/2025 10:52 pm Just one point to make: 4.2g is actually the correct weight for a quarter struck on dime stock. It could also be a rolled thin quarter stock planchet, of course. https://www.coinworld.com/voices/de...ting-wr.html https://www.coinworld.com/news/us-c...e-stock.html Struck on dime stock quarters in uncirculated condition, graded by PCGS, seem to sell in the $100-150 range on ebay. https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_nk...H_Complete=1 Report this Post to the Staff

armandoluna Valued Member United States 178 Posts	Posted 05/13/2025 11:36 pm Wow, very interesting read. Very educational also. My quarter weighs exactly 4.2 grams. So is it safe to say that it was struck on a dime planchet? I think that I will get it slabbed. Report this Post to the Staff
Brandmeister Pillar of the Community United States 6464 Posts	Posted 05/14/2025 12:06 am Maybe you could post a picture of the edge? Perhaps a quarter struck on dime stock looks different on the edge than a rolled thin quarter. Report this Post to the Staff
Halo1st Pillar of the Community United States 2775 Posts	Posted 05/14/2025 12:25 am Interesting indeed. It might be confirm after a bit more homework. Thanks, Doug. Report this Post to the Staff
Marv65 Bedrock of the Community United States 10485 Posts	Posted 05/14/2025 12:38 am Remember, the dime stock blanks were punched out in 1970 and fed into the minting machines. Your coin was minted 5 years before that happened so chances are slim. Report this Post to the Staff
