Re: 1966 P Washinton Quarter ,,looks like odd mint mark ?

You can see the path that a object took across the rim and into the coin to cause a metal crater, so this is post mint damage.

Re: 1965 Washington Quarter struck on Silver Planchet

Silver planchets weigh 6.3 grams and I can tell this isn't silver, there's some copper showing on the edge.

Re: 1965 Washington Quarter struck on Silver Planchet

Justapiece, these are the weights I have in my notes for quarters. I don't actively collect quarters hence 'from my notes'. Though if I find an old one or a good looking one in pocket change I will keep it. As Daniel said, he could see copper on the edge, any copper showing it will be a clad. Howeve...

Re: 1987 P Washington Quarter Possible D/D ?

This is die deterioration doubling and that can cause what looks like thickness. It's always a good idea to try to find a match on Wexlers doubled die website, if you don't then contact Paul of this forum and send it to him.
