I have a 1977 Washington quarter in decent condition. But its weight is 5.23 grams...... Considering it's normal is 5.67 grams, I'm wondering why. Is this an error? There is no visible damage or excessive wear. No corrosion. Any info would be appreciated!

    Could just be the blank (coin) stock was rolled too thin to begin with.

    Does it hold any significant value? It is a blackish brown coin btw. Idk if that matters

    Sounds like environmental damage. Spend it.

    See if, in about a week, you can post pictures of both sides
