oh pick me! pick me! I got this. I actually bought a 4 quarter set for $1.25. someone told me that it was HSN, or QVC, or one of those shows that were selling them. one is silver, one gold, one platinum, one diamond plated. I have almost a whole page of silver plated and a whole page of gold plated. ALL found in rolls. I think I was told that it is applied with a SUPER thin layer done with a laser. it is so minute that it has no premium over face. some people dip coins in different precious metals to try to pawn them off as a rare error. I also found these gold plated 2005 D bison nickels in rolls too.

I thought diamond plate is what they make toolboxes out of.

Greetings all ! Just joined the forum and wanted some experienced coin experts to weigh in on this coin. I found this coin in change ( I work at retail and look for old silver coins ) and the edge appeared silver ...upon closer inspection its a P 2005 Minnesota State Quarter. I don't think its silver because it doesn't have the silver luster but I do believe it may be all nickel. What do you guys think ? Is this common or rare ?

its a plate as far as I have been able to tell had friends look it up the delaware version of it and no it doesnt weigh heavier or lighter than the typical 5.75 grams
