Description

Surprising 1920 Quarter, MS60 Full Head
Struck on a Peru 20 Centavos Planchet

1920 Quarter--Struck on a Peru 20 Centavos Planchet--MS60 Full Head NGC. 6.9 gm. 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 a combination of pinscratches and wispy slide marks which preclude a finer designation.
