I came across this 2022 Jovita Idár quarter and noticed a few things that made me curious if it might be an error coin. • Weight: 5.14 grams (measured on a digital scale) • Standard weight for this coin is 5.67 g, so it's noticeably lighter • The coin is extremely worn on both sides—much of the lettering and details are faded • Edge still appears intact, but the coin looks like it may have environmental or circulation damage I'm trying to figure out if this could be: • A real mint error such as a thin planchet or lamination issue • Or just post-mint damage or metal loss from long-term wear, corrosion, or ground exposure I've attached photos and a picture of it on the scale for reference. Any opinions or guidance from experienced collectors would be really appreciated. Thank you! Report this Post to the Staff

Dearborn Moderator United States 94728 Posts	Posted 11/03/2025 5:58 pm to CCF. as stated above, this would be an acid dipped quarter - which would account for the weight loss. Collecting since 1972.
