2000 D Silver?? Maryland Quarter

I found this roll hunting. There is no clad edge that I can see. And I'm thinking it is silver but according to my book, and a few minutes on Google. There was no silver except for the S mint mark

Do you have any silver quarters? If so, drop them both on the table. Do they sound the same? I just read about this after doing a search and they took theirs to a dealer and the dealer said someone probably plated it.

 

Is the rim two toned ?

 

Nope single toned, i compared the drop to other silver quarters but it is hard to tell.

 

Do you have a scale? Weigh it.

 

it looks plated...

 

It's plated!

 

The weight is the same as normal quarters.

 

If you have a scale, silver weight 6.30 grams and clad weight 5.67 grams ..

 

I'm with Rick(MP).....plated. Besides, San Fran is the only minter of silver quarters and they are 'proof' to boot. Not so with OP's example.

 

Weight is the same, i am starting to think that it is plated.

 

either way a good find!! I think

 

It was part of a silver plated state quarter set most likely. Tons of profit seeking companies took advantage of the buzz created by the statehood quarter series, bought bags or rolls, had them plated either in gold or silver and sold them as sets at exorbitant prices. Once the masses who paid the exorbitant prices realized they owned 5 damaged quarters in some nice packaging, and that they weren't worth what they paid, they spent them. I have a gold plated set on eBay for 3.99 shipping of $2 included.

Mods:
This isn't an attempt to sell the se, just to show an example of what the set could have looked like.

 

Thanks for the help. I am still somewhat new to coin collecting and love the hobby but don't know everything there is to know.

 

None of us ever will........
