[QUOTE="Mirza Beck, post: 2135064, member: 32583"]Hello Friends, I found this quarter out of roll. I have tried and tried online to properly ID this coin,but nothing concrete is showing up. I even showed the pic to the local coin dealer and they think its a made up coin 1.The coin is showing [B]CLEAR EDGE[/B] like the silver quarters have.Why? 2.I double checked on 2 different machines.The weight is [B]5.8[/B] grams rather then the normal 5.67 grams. 3.The Blank used is just a [I]hair bit larger looking[/I] then a normal business strike. I did read articles on how many different types of quarters were made of the state quarter program.But this does not seem to fit in the types. I know that both P and D mint marks made the satin finish special strikes but this one is a more clear nickel type color. The quarter has very clear shinny surface almost like a mirror. I know from online facts that only the S mint mark was made of silver and non-silver that possibly could have this type of surface on it. Please, if there anyone who knows what this type of quarter is? Appreciate your advise to resolve the Q n A in my mind. God Bless Beck. PS: I did see immitation quarters made but those are of .999 silver.[ATTACH]407097[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]407098[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]407099[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
