    I found the same quarter! I've been searching for info to see if anyone else has this coin. Did you ever find out if it was plated? Why does this exist?

    Sometimes, just random luck of the draw, when the coin is struck it manages to seal the copper cladding so perfectly that only the copper-nickel outer cladding shows. (Most of the time the interior cladding is not perfectly centered, and some of the copper shows on the edge.) No special premium for that, and it's still copper-nickel. In 2010 the only silver proof quarters were minted in San Francisco. No business strike silver quarters were minted that year.

    It would be astronomically unlikely for silver quarter planchets to end up in Philadelphia as they had no business having any that year. (Philadelphia has not minted any 90% silver quarters since 1964.)

    Thank you for your reply. I just noticed this neodymium magnet actually sticks to the quarter, unlike my other quarters. Why would this happen?

    I am new to this forum by the way, so thank you again for the reply.

    It sticks probably because it's nickel plated.

    I always check the Coinstar reject tray after shopping at our local grocery store to see if there is any coins in it. Since I use Coinstar's to dump my roll hunting. There was not any and as I started to walk away then I saw a dime on the floor and it looked like silver. Here it is. 20191221_135910.jpg 20191221_135921.jpg

    I found so many coins while working at a liquor store. Eventually the customers started gifting me their extra coins. One guy was a much more experienced collector and he gave me this 1853 penny because the reverse is messed up. Let me know what you guys think of it. 20191221_205229.jpg 20191221_205218.jpg

    Opened a roll of quarters and heard an unusual clink. Impaired silver proof! I noticed some green spots on the coin (8 o'clock near the rim on the obverse, 4 o'clock near the rim on the reverse, and the letter N in Arkansas). Is that corrosion?

    Also, what is that edge on the rim on the obverse called? I'm assuming it was caused by the die strike since proofs are struck with more force.

    Are you sure it is a silver proof? The reason I ask is because the SF Mint also produced clad proofs for the SQ's, and the green spots, if it is corrosion, would seem more likely on a clad coin rather than a silver coin. What does the reeded edge look like? Do you see any copper on it? Just asking!

    The obverse edge is due to a misaligned die (MAD). Proof coins aren't necessarily struck with more force, but they are struck more than once to ensure a complete strike of the devices.

    You don't think it's finning?

    This could be a plated business strike; I can't really tell from these photos. A quick weighing would settle any doubts, though.

    Contemplating searching a few boxes of these. I don't know if there better left alone. Is there anything to look for besides the missing edge lettering? 1551464617880-faee65c79cd0a13ecb077771feaa404aac608f1b536158f9ac4a5bddfe5ddb7c.jpg

    Joe, boxes like this most definitely did not come from the US Mint. You can bet your "bottom dollar" that they have already been searched. This is just another way for a shyster to bleed as much money as he can from the uneducated public.
