Bonenfant.C Posted October 21, 2014 Report Share Posted October 21, 2014 Hi everyone, I'm new to the forum because this Quarter has really been bugging me from not being able to figure out what it is. It is a 1999-D Georgia Quarter weighing in at 5.00 grams. According to the website- (http://www.statequarterguide.com/1999-georgia-state-quarter/), this quarter weighs 5.67 grams while Jefferson Nickels weigh in at 5 grams. So with that being said, I definitely thought it was the quarter struck on the nickel planchet. But when I look closer at the coin, it looks like there is the normal copper ring on the bottom that quarters have. I will include pictures so you guys know what I am talking about. Any information on what this coin could be would be greatly appreciated. Is it common? Is it worth anything? etc. Thank you in advance, Chase Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Art1.2 Posted October 21, 2014 Report Share Posted October 21, 2014 Hello and welcome to CoinPeople. I don't have any information about your "quarter". It does look like something worth investigating. Hope someone will have a bit more info for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corina Posted October 21, 2014 Report Share Posted October 21, 2014 Looks to be post mint damage or a very worn coin either way not a error Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thedeadpoint Posted October 22, 2014 Report Share Posted October 22, 2014 I think I've seen this before. Sometimes coins get caught in the rim of the clothes dryer and roll in the track around and around and around. Hundreds or thousands of times. That coin looks like it's been rolling in a track just like that. It would explain why one edge is rounder than the other (because it's leaning towards that side).

ccg Posted October 23, 2014 Report Share Posted October 23, 2014 I think we've got ourselves an answer :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tommyd Posted December 13, 2014 Report Share Posted December 13, 2014 Odd that it should weigh that... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
