Oh thanks guys so much for that information and your time you took to help me.  As always, I appreciate you guys helping me learn.

As an aside, a special shout out thanks for Pre-1947 silver tolerance variance.  That definitely answers another question I won’t have to ask in the future because I have basically inherited as part of my startin, but continuing family collection a great many silver quarters , many of those many predating 1947, so that’s a huge extra bonus nugget.

Collectively, everyone is rock solid on good, useful, and especially helping information to those who seek it. Cheers to ya all!

Hey guys,

i was reading the recent posting and a gentleman mentioned he had a 1976 no mint mark that weighed 5.9.  Well that got me to weighing my small collection and the one you see in the picture only weighed 5.48. It is a 1976-D.  Has anyone ever had one weIgh this small of an amount and, does anyone know if there are error quarters that are known to weigh this or is this just another case of that tride and true outlying variance?  All of my other ones weighed no less than 5.6.  Actually only 1 weighed that and all others weighed 5.65 and over.  The coin is not in terrible condition or rubbed through constant circulation slick like or any of that.

Thanks for any advice!

Ah, I see.  I couldn’t pull the name but that was indeed the person I was thinking of when counterfeiting crossed my mind.   Thanks for the god info fellas, I’ve inherited this huge collection and over The past six months I’ve been l learning and now it’s part of my life but just so, so many different coins of every single denomination.  Good to have fine folks to bounce an idea or verify a coin with as they come up.  I have the books but when it comes to final say, I have been looking towards the members here and it’s been nothing but collective, balls accurate information.  Thanks again fellas!

You’re probably right...then again I’m constantly astounded what oddities seem I draw premiums when selling 🙂

maybe I’ll just put it up for a million dollars or best offer and see what eBay folk offer if anything.

Gotta be worth at least...a nickel 😆

Absolutely,

I’m learning just how fast and loose certain time periods use the word ‘variance’ 😁

I thought maybe it could’ve possibly been a counterfeit at that weight as I have read it was a common coin to do that with back when.

Thank you for your response, I really appreciate the advice!

Hey all,

anyone encounter a nickel similar in weight?  I know variance but isn’t this to low for a variance.  Scale checks out, not broken or off.  I’d appreciate any thoughts or advice on what this could be.  Thanks so much guys!
