<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Sirius, post: 24560807, member: 146816&quot;]I&#039;m not a coin collector by any means. I&#039;m a detectorist that hunts beaches mostly, and I tend to find alot of interesting things which includes coins. Yesterday I was out hunting and found this odd coin that was not like the rest. </p><p>Usually I find alot of clad quarters, and you can tell it&#039;s clad by just looking on the edges. If it&#039;s clad and been in the ocean long enough, the copper starts to leech through as it oxidizes leaving behind green residue while also exposing the pinkish copper core. If you can&#039;t tell, sometimes a good scratch your your finger nail can expose the copper core better. </p><p>The coin I found was not like that at all, but rather the edges were black sandwiched between what I presume is nickel clad. I gave it a good scratch with my finger nail and it didn&#039;t do anything to the metal within. Checking the date shows that it was from 1967, and I know that they stopped making silver coins after 1964.</p><p>I&#039;m just wondering what your opinion is on this coin, could it be an error coin or just really tarnished copper that didn&#039;t leech? </p><p>Below are three coins from around the same era from top to bottom: 1966 quarter. 1967 quarter, T[ATTACH=full]1555907[/ATTACH] he strange 1967 quarter[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
