    Unusual to find even in Canada silver in change.   
    The 1966 quarter would be 80% silver

    Greenstang got a reaction from Newenglandrarities in 1998-D Silver Quarter?   
    Don’t forget there is a mint tolerance of .19g so yours is still within tolerance.

    I think “erosion around the mintmark” would be correct.

    Welcome to the forum
    This is the section for registered sets.   
    Please use the Newbie Forum for further posts.  

    Before anyone can help, we will require a clear photo of both sides of each coin you    
    have a question about. To avoid confusion, only one coin per post please.   
    Also a clear explanation of what you want to know about each coin.   
    Looking forward to seeing your pictures.

    Greenstang got a reaction from ldhair in 1929-S penny Die Clash   
    A die clash would be raised and I don’t really see that on your coin.  
    There might be a bit ghosting  though.

    To me pictures are not clear even to authentic either way.   
    We have to be able to see all the detail such as in the photo that EagleRJO supplied.

    Greenstang got a reaction from EagleRJO in 1888/7 ?   
    Not a split planchet or any other error.   
    You don’t show the whole coin but it is too worn to see any of the markers indicating a 1888/7.

    Nice, a retained laminate that has been partiially peeled back.

    Greenstang got a reaction from powermad5000 in 1918 penny Lamination   
    A lamination is generally (to cover myself, I say generally because there have been rare cases of lamination on clad coins) restricted to solid alloy coins as it is caused by the presence of contaminants or impurities in the alloy which separate when the planchet is made. They can be small or run the full length of the coin.

    Greenstang got a reaction from EagleRJO in Question on reverse   
    A weak strike is a common problem on the reverse of Lincoln Memorials.   
    To put it simply, the amount of material used to fill in Lincoln’s head leaves little
    left to fill in the reverse properly.
