Error or not ? 2000 - P Virginia statehood quarter with no copper edge showing .

Hello all and good morning ! I Ran across a quarter from my pocket change this morning that has me stumped . The question i have is would this be considered post mint damage or not , it's a first for me and certainly caught me eye.

It's been plated. Probably with silver of platinum.

 

Yes , that was my first thought , seeems like i do remember reading about state quarters beeing plated for the secondary market years ago . Also something i read one time or another about the reeding process dragging the clad layer over the copper edge , It's nice to have any set of eyes to help confirm any of my suspicions .

 

Fun to find these. Your heart skips a beat.
Might be nickel plated if it’s slightly ferromagnetic. Attracted to a magnet.

 

Yep, these state quarters were hawked to uninformed people years ago. They were sold in Gold plate and Platinum plate. It's obvious that folks are still trying to sell a worthless set for ridiculous amounts. Most pawn shops have these and sell them for 2x face.
