Looked like a U.S. quarter to me.

Well, it does depend on what the tone arm itself is set at.

Yeah, they were uncoated discs and were 16s at 78.  It would be 
interesting to have a tabulation of what formats he used during what 
years.  I have one unrecorded blank 16 uncoated, a Fairchild which could 
be recorded for longer than a 5 minute length because  Fairchild was 
marketing a plastic impregnated bamboo stylus that would stay sharp for 
more than 5 minutes which was the limit for standard fibre playback styli.

I also see why Doug asked us how we would clean uncoated aluminum.  What 
did you find that worked, Doug?
