Question
I have a 2001 quarter that seems to have misses the copper layer process. I received in change from the local bank and could feel the weight difference and the sound when you drop it on the table. Do you have any ideas?
Thanks,
Clyde DeLancey
HI Clyde,
I have seen the outer layer missing, but not the inner copper layer. The coin should weigh 5.67 grams
I would really have to physically inspect the coin to make any judgement.
If you would like to send it to me for review, email me at OMEGAPM@aol.com
Regards
Joe Hylas
