Description

1920 Quarter, Struck on a Peru 20 Centavo Planchet
MS60 Full Head Example

1920 25C Standing Liberty Quarter--Struck on a Peru 20 Centavo Planchet--MS60 Full Head NGC. 6.9 gm. 76% copper, 23% nickel (1% other). Seemingly normal at first glance, if more sharply struck than the average quarter from 1920, but the weight is off--6.9 grams vs. 6.25 on a proper Standing Liberty quarter planchet--and the color is unusual by silver standards. The piece was struck on a copper-nickel planchet of Peruvian 20 centavos size, which accounts for the additional weight and the green-gold and lilac colors that seem so out-of-place on what should be a silver coin. Thanks to the extra material, the devices are marvelously detailed, though they and the fields show wispy slide marks that preclude a finer designation.
