Found a few very nice state quarters very beautiful but odd

All of them have a very nice goldish color to them very odd and some of the front side looks like it was plated wrong can I get some info on this. I can send more pictures if you request them.

Quarters are not plated. They have cladding.
The Clad layers begin to tone from the moment they are minted.

The proccess of toning occurs faster depending on the environment it is found in. Yes even when wrapped.

 

And the goldish tint on the reverse ? Any value in these coins or. Just something to keep in the collection ?

 

I read that the obverse side was nickel and error made at the mint. But this is why I am here asking you because I feel confident in your knowledge. Very well spoken .

 

Clad coins such as Quarters, Dimes and Halves have a Cupro-Nickel Clad. The material is mixture of 75% Copper and 25% Nickel. Nickels are not Cladded but are solid Cupro-Nickel planchets. That is normal not any kind of mint error.
Be careful with stuff you read. People make things up when they have no idea how coins are made.

 

No. Spend them. IMHO

 

These all seem to be State Quarters. Some TV sales people were selling
sets of these during the program. Gold plating was done outside of mint
by private companies. They have no added value except as a curiosity.
You can keep them or spend them, they will only be worth face value
now or twenty years from now. Depends on you.

 

So then why is the face of the coins like a matte gray color. And the back is silver but with the incredible tonnage. I’ve never seen a quarter a matte grayish color and the other side so new.

 

It's just a form of Toning. Keep them if you like or collect but they are spenders.

 

this is toning, the two sides are different because one was up while the other was down for a long period of time.

There were all kinds of cardboard "state quarters" maps for people to fill the holes in on, this is what the coins would look like when they are popped out of the boards and cashed in 15 +years later in the cheaper, non-archival quality map boards.

heads side grey in full contact with the cheap cardboard. Tails side rimmed or more of the surface on that side with goldish toning creeping from the edge contact with the cardboard hole, and slower toned than the heads side that had it's own little closed environment of cheap cardboard.
