Frequently Asked Questions...
I have an ABNORMAL 1957 quarter. What is it, or how can I find out, and is it worth anything?
It sounds distinctly different than other quarters, and any other coins for that matter, because I knew it was different as I jingled some changed in my hand. I singled out this 1957 quarter and found that it is also the color silver all around the edge, rather than having that brown tone quarters normally have.
It may seem weird for me to say it "sounds different", but I was with a friend, and he agreed, when it hits other normal coins, it makes a distinct sound.
Other differences: It seems subjectively lighter or whiter than a handful of other quarters on the Washington side. And, on the eagle side it has yellowish and reddish, see-through colors, this seems to be random and probably not originally there.
So my first thought was counterfeit. Any other ideas? I'm hoping it's silver...
Answer:
The Washington quarters from 1932 to 1964 were made of 90% silver and weighed 6.25 grams. The quarters from 1965 on ward are made of copper and nickel are are called clad coins, they actually weigh less 5.67 grams. Over the years due to wear a coin can lose weight but not that much to make it weigh less than a clad quarter. As for the colors that is toning or environmental damage. The coin is not rare for there were 46,532,000 minted at Philadelphia and 77,924,160 in Denver. The mint mark if any is on the eagle side at the bottom below the bow. The coin in the condition you state is worth around 5 to 6 times face value for its silver. That is about what dealers are paying now. If silver goes up so does your coins value. Hope this helps.
