Well i've had this coin in my possession for a good 2 years now. I found it when i lined up a handful of quarters in my hand and saw the non-clad edge. I have no clue if this is silver, an error, or even platted. It had a P mint mark, so it is not a S silver proof. It shines like any old quarter. Anyone have any idea on what this is worth, or if it is even silver? Thanks!
It would be unlikely that it was struck on a (proof only) silver planchet at the Philadelphia Mint since all of the proofs were struck in San Francisco, but anything is possible. Are you able to weigh it? A silver quarter should weigh 6.25 gms, and a clad quarter should weigh 5.67 gms. Chris
I may be able to weigh it at work, but its only to the tenths place. It would be about a day before i could figure it out. Thanks!
Since there is more than .5 gm. difference between the two, the nearest 1/10th should be good enough. Chris
