1972-D Washington Quarter, MS62
Struck on a Philippines 5 Sentimos Planchet

1972-D 25C Washington Quarter -- Struck on a Philippines Five Sentimos Planchet -- MS62 PCGS. The Philippines five sentimos was struck between 1967 and 1974 in a brass alloy of 60% copper and 40% zinc. The weight was 2.5 grams, half that of a Jefferson nickel. All examples were struck at San Francisco or Denver. The latter facility coined the 1972 issue. On this off-metal quarter, the mintmark is present but indistinct. The upper half of the date is clear. The strange yellow-green color, small diameter, and partial, uncentered design caught the attention of a finder, who added a cluster of pinscratches near the crest of the right (facing) wing. A narrow, nearly vertical strike-through crosses much of the Washington portrait.
