one quarter is less than one third
This is not a Mint error coin. It has likely been altered by placing the nickel and dime in a vise and squeezing them together causing a reverse image of the dime to appear on the nickel. The coin has no numismatic collectible value.
That's more of a trick question than a real problem. The other coin IS a quarter.
Probably not, but that depends on how carefully it is packed. Volume wise, a quarter is 808 mm3 and a dime is 328 mm3, which means it takes almost exactly 2.5 dimes to match the volume of one quarter. Which leaves the smaller size of the dime to allow you to put more than 2.5 times the number of quarters into a jar.
Any of these four answers satisfies the question: Nickel--Dime--Quarter . 2 . . . . 7 . . . . 0 . 3 . . . . 5 . . . . 1 . 4 . . . . 3 . . . . 2 . 5 . . . . 1 . . . . 3
Definitely need more information than what this is. Is it a quarter? Half? Nickel? Penny? Dime? What condition is it in?
It's not clear what you're asking. Please post a new and more specific question.

What kind of coin? Dime, quarter, half dollar, dollar, trade dollar? Can you find a small mint mark (S, O, CC) on the back? Please post a new and more detailed question.
The 1969-S dime is a Proof coin, that's why it has higher value.
one quarter is less than one third
The reason is because the dime used to be made of silver, while the nickel has always been a copper/nickel blend. Silver is worth more, which is why the coin could be smaller, but worth more. There used to be a silver half-dime, but the coin was so small that it was replaced by the nickel.
The 1916-D Mercury dime is the key-date coin of the series. Genuine examples of a circulated coin have values from $900.00 to more then $10,000.00.
Since I think the 1860s, all American coins have had "E Pluribus Unum" on them somewhere. You'll need to be more specific. What's the face value of the coin (penny, nickel, dime, quarter, half-dollar, dollar)? And what condition is it in?
An American quarter has 119 ridges. Believe it or not, a dime has 118 ridges- that's only one more ridge!
The coin is a 1939 Mercury Head dime and the lady is Miss Liberty. Your coin is 90% silver but the date is common. Circulated coins are $3.00-$6.00 and uncirculated are $10.00 or more depending on the grade of the coin.
