    I have a 2011 gettysburg quarter that is in excellent condintion. The only thing that is abnormal is the fact it looks army green. Now ive looked at the edges of the coin and it appears perfectly green where it would normally be silver color. So I dont think anyone had dipped it into anything. Maybe a die error or struck through grease. Idk. Ive seen other coins struck through grease and it don't look like this. Any ideas 20140904_054329.jpg 20140904_054352.jpg 20140904_054318.jpg

    It looks like the same color of coins I've found metal detecting, perhaps it was buried?

    Idk. I looked at the edges under a magnify glass and if it was burned or dipped into something there would be some sort of risdges where the color is on the edges and there is not. It is perfectly the same all the way around. The picture I have of the edge where you can see the green is like that all the way around. Its like the layer of clad. Or something

    Some sort of environmental damage. Nothing to sweat as these are most plentiful........

    By chance have you weight the coin? There are different acids and or school projects that can change the color. I don't see the green that much and I would agree with green18 and easj3699 :)

    FYI: did you check the earlobe, there is a dbld lobe listed for this as well as lettering, but I don't see anything on the lettering. For the dbld earlobe on this one it is quite small. I say all that because I may see a die marker for the lobe just to the right of the Pony tail.
    You can look on Wexles and compare :)
    Happy hunting :)
