What is the difference?I have a whole roll of these tinted quarters. http://s766.photobucket.com/albums/x...t=scan0003.jpg   11-19-2009, 09:30 PM   #2 (permalink) hontonai Registered Contrarian   Join Date: Dec 2005 Posts: 2,589 My Mood: I'm not sure I understand your question. Both coins appear to be normally colored, so what is the "tinted quarters" reference about? You say you have a "full roll of these", but show two different ones: A South Carolina quarter, the third of five minted during 2000 as part of the 1999-2008 State Quarter series; and A Guam quarter, the third of six being issued this year as the Territorial Quarter series. Are those the only ones in the roll, or does it include others? __________________ Ethical conduct is being honest when no one is watching.   11-19-2009, 09:33 PM   #3 (permalink) kudegras Kudegras     Join Date: Nov 2009 Location: Alabama Posts: 109 My Mood: Quote: Originally Posted by hontonai I'm not sure I understand your question.

I was comparing the South Carolina dark tint to the normal look of the Guam in the photo.The South Carolina has a bronze tint to it.And no the roll includes all states and all the backs of the coins have a bronze tint to them.Don't the colors look different?

Maybe the coins used to be in an album and had started to tone before they were removed. I know many of my quarters have started to tone. It's nothing rare or valuable.   11-19-2009, 11:26 PM   #5 (permalink) dond2885 Junior Member   Join Date: Oct 2009 Location: Pennsylvania Posts: 83 My Mood: The S. Carolina quarter looks to have the same color of the coins my wife saved in a coin book with soft plastic sleeves. The quarters were just slid into the sleeve, bare against the holder. They all turned color. I assume it was a reaction to the sleeves. I don't know what the obverse of your coins look like by my wifes were completely discolored on both sides.   Bookmarks Digg del.icio.us StumbleUpon Google Would you like to support CoinTalk?
