A 2005 Oregon quarter without copper in the edge...is it real?

My wife works as a bank teller and brought home a 2005 Oregon quarter that has a completely silver edge. Everything else about it seems to be exactly like another Oregon quarter that we compared it too.

I am not a collector so I may be making a fool of myself on here. However, has anyone ever seen this? Do people actually waste time making counterfeit quarters?

to the forum greeseba11. when ever we have to answer questions like yours. Thanks

 

yeah with out a pic we can only guess, maybe a platinum plater state quarter from a qvc set, or (and hopefully not) maybe it was dipped in mercury

welcome to cointalk

 

Or it's just a silver proof. Thats my guess as they're common enough.

#3: Most likely plated. Is there a mint mark? Or does the surface look very shiny?

2005 All Silver Oregon Quarter

I was at a coinstar depositing hundreds of dollars in quarters, and this one quarter in particular kept getting kicked out and would not get accepted. I does not have the copper around the edge, it feels different and sounds different. Anyone know what it could be?

 

Well maybe yours is from a silver proof set. They were 90% silver.

 

Does it have a date on it? How about a mint mark?

 

welcome to the forum.

And it would really help if you could post a picture.

Also, look for a mintmark on the obverse (heads) side.
It should be a P, a D or an S.
That would help.

 

Well welcome to the forum greaseball are you italian? I think in order to tell what you really have
