Can anybody tell me why or how this quarter is gold in color on both sides? I tried cleaning it with viniger & salt.. But it remained the same.
Sometimes dish soap can give clad quarters strange colors. Otherwise, I don't know what caused it. Gold colored quarters have been showing up in circulation since the state quarters program began in 1999. Oh....vinegar is acidic and salt is abrasive. Both are damaging to coins.
This is why. http://www.hsn.com/products/99-14-24k-gold-plated-statenational-parks-quarters-as/7969640 When people find out that their rare collectible is only worth face value, they put them into circulation. PS. NEVER CLEAN YOUR COINS!
