Quarter-sized 1963 5 cents

[cashcow]

Hello group!

I've been looking for some information about this coin for a while but no luck

What I have is a 1963 5 cents coin that is pretty much the same size as a quarter, with proportional engraving.

Coin is barely smaller than a 2022 quarter, around 23.5mm vs 23.88.

I don't have a caliper to measure it but it's almost the same, far from the usual 21.2mm.

I'd love to know the story behind this.

Thanks for your help!

Could you post the weight to two decimal points. This is important in determining what the cause is.

I don't have a kitchen scale but I will try to find that info.

A kitchen scale is not accurate enough, it has to be In grams to two decimal points.

I'll try dropping by a pawnshop to get it weighed then.

Thanks
