<p>[QUOTE="USCoinCollector42, post: 3013905, member: 75732"]From what I see in those pictures, your coin looks normal. To be struck in a different metal, it would have to either be on a proof planchet or a planchet of another denomination (US or foreign). Your coin doesn't have the mirror-like fields of a proof and its very unlikely that it was struck on anything other than a quarter planchet (the diameter would be off unless the planchet just happened to have the same diameter as a quarter). The reason your coin weighs about 0.2g underweight is probably because of some sort of environmental damage.</p><p><br /></p><p>I think you're looking at something that isn't there and I'm 99.99% certain your coin is a regular quarter.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
