Amazing that a coin like that could get around as much as it apperantly has. Makes you wonder if it was a blank or is it worn blank.

Nice find. Great photos.

Could be a metal spacer. But I am not sure from the looks of the rim it could be a worn blank.

Yea it looks like it could be one with that raised rim. My friends girlfriend found a penny blank once in her cash register.

Hi there,
Yup that is a quarter blank(also known as a blank Planchet), you can tell by the raised rim. If you have a small digital scale you can weight it to see if it is genuine, it should be 5.67 grams. It not not worn blank because the rim would not be as present if the coin was completely worn blank. I have found several penny blanks, never a quarter.

Great find!

Nice blank planchet. Looks like it has spent some time in the casino slots.

Nice find!!! A very rare find too. First one I have seen on this board even. Pennies are hard enough to find but a quarter man that would stick out.

Let us know how much she weighs....I found what I think is a Half blank planchet, it looks good, but it only weighs 11.2 grams, I'm thinking someone may have ground it down
