Has there ever been ...

Has there ever been a "state" quarter in all nickel or all copper, for that matter, ever?

Not intentionally.

 

There are State quarters struck on nickel planchets,
and State Quarters struck with one outer layer missing,
showing the copper core, but if I read your question
correctly, you're asking if a normal sized Quarter planchet
has been 100% nickel or copper - No.

The most common 'all copper' or 'all nickel' coins
are those that are copper plated, or nickel plated,
as novelty items, that then get into circulation and
confuse folks who think they might have found an error.

 

But I've seen some quarter errors with both sides missing nickel clad layers. Not normal size but isnt that technically 100% copper?

 

Did you find something that you have a question on? There is also Environmental Damage, that's when the clad layer changes color due to exposure to the elements. Dirt, sand, soil, water, sun, heat and weather can give it a darker appearance.

 

Those quarters you mentioned ('both sides missing') are
copper plated coins, and not errors.

 

Oh so it's impossible for both sides to be missing?

 

If both sides are missing roughly half the material is missing as well so if it was missing before the strike the strike would be very weak and the quarter would weigh about 2.8 to 3 grams.

 

No. not enviro. damage, all state Quarters 4 or 5, some years ago, all look good,out of the roll, not running 5.67g, some as low as 5.5 to 5.8? looking all copper or all nickel? I'll get picks but I need to dig them out first, not an error collector.

 

5.5 to 5.8 are all within spec for a normal quarter. Means almost certainly just toning/discoloration.
