If you have access to an accurate scale, the weight would give you an indication.

 

At this time I don't have a scale. would a post office scale work?

Quarters are not plated.
Your coin does not look as though it is missing its clad layer, it looks like it suffers from environmental damage.

 

Thank you jloring for the thread. I have more research to do .

 

Thank you rickmp missing clad layer is what I what looking for. like I said I have a lot to learn.

 

No. A postal scale is typically accurate to .1 oz or about 3 grams. You are trying to detect a shortness in weight of about 1.1 grams.
