It is a clad coin made of copper & nickel. The poll you added to the thread is useless. A poll is only used to count votes.

Ok but why does it stack to a magnet?

 

If it sticks to a magnet it's fake.

 

IMO that's the sort of thing (magnetic) that the Secret Service would be interested in.
You could do a service to the US by contacting them.

 

The reverse looks funny close to the rim on the lower half of the coin. It almost looks like it was machined out and replaced with another reverse after the coin was stuffed with a magnet. Could be pretty good looking fake, could be an altered genuine coin.

 

That's what I was thinking Looks like a seam and an opening below pluribus.

 

It is a genuine quarter that has been altered.

 

What Is the recommendation you can give me guys

 

You think is come like the o someone altered the coin is no damage looks very good

 

Hi Roxana,

1- Where are you from? Your English suggests it is not your first language, but I know what you mean so it will do just fine.

2- A genuine coin of that year should NOT stick to a magnet. I agree with the others that this is probably a counterfeit. However, unless you know where it came from, the Secret Service will not be interested in a twenty-five cent counterfeit. I'd throw it into your collection as an example of a counterfeit.

 

Can you post a picture of the edge (can you see the copper)? Have you weighed it? The only way for a genuine, non-ferrous coin to stick to a magnet means it would have to have been plated or dipped in a ferrous metal.

 

Hi guys sorry take long to reply hope this picture is OK the weigh is 5.6 and after is changing 5.7 and is go back 5.6

 

I think you mean ferromagnetic. Nickel and cobalt are magnetic but not ferrous.
