[QUOTE="cpm9ball, post: 1227072, member: 24633"]We've often seen coins posted here that may appear to have a copper color, but turn out to be merely an effect of environmental damage. It's possible that the clad layers may have separated from the copper core, but without photos we won't know for sure. What does it weigh? A normal quarter should weigh 5.67 gms. Again, we couldn't give you an estimate of the value without seeing the condition of the coin. With that said, a little lesson in terminology would be appropriate: 1) The date on the obverse is the year it was issued by the Mint. 2) The date on the reverse is the year that the state was admitted to the Union. Therefore, it wouldn't be an 1836-2003 AR SQ. It is simply a 2003 AR SQ. 3) The mintmarks that are now or have been used by the Mint are a) P or no mintmark - Philadelphia, b) D - Denver, c) S - San Francisco, d) W - West Point, e) O - New Orleans, f) CC - Carson City, g) D - Dahlonega (19th Century gold) and h) C - Charlotte (19th Century gold).
