State Quarter Error

Got this quarter back in change, the reverse has a greenish golden dull color while the obverse is normal. I haven't seen a coin like this, does anyone know if this is an error and what kind ? Any help is appreciated ,thank you.

Okay, I saw some 'satin'finished quarters, kinda had the same look but they were uncirculated maybe mine is just circulated.Any comments?

 

I doubt that it is an error. Since you found it in circulation, there is no telling what environmental effects may have caused this coin to discolor.

Yea you might be right, though I have found coins before that should not be in circulation.

 

Ive noticed that alot of my state quarters that are stored and stapled in cardboard 2x2's have toned to a point that they appear what I call 'tea stained'. Not quite are dark as yours, but Im sure eventually they will get there. I love the look non-the-less.
Sorry, I don't see any green on your pics.

 

The only error I see, is calling this an error. Sorry fish.

 

Didn't you get the memo? Anything out of the ordinary is an error.

 

I also have some heavy 'gold' toned state quarters. This looks like one..with scratches.

 

ooooooooooo

 

Lol, thank you for the help guys, I submitted pics to fred weinberg, and the result..............he says not an error, oh well I'll keep it still.

 

Hoboerror!

Chris:devil:

 

But...actually finding an error IS out of the ordinary...

:scratch:

 

I said that tongue-in-cheek. Lately it seems there are more and more posts of coins with PMD that are posted as "errors".

 

I took it as such, and responded in kind...of course, this being the internet, the sarcasm was lost somewhere in the ether. *lol*

 

Areas where there is a higher sulfur content in the air tend to yellow coin faster.

 

I wish everyone posted pictures as good as yours.

 

Thanks robbudo, my new cell phone has a built in 8.1 megapixel camera which has made taking quality pics
alot easier.

 

lets just say that those are better than half the pics people post from their cameras ...
