<p>[QUOTE="Mike Reynolds, post: 2000574, member: 72447"]I'm not suggesting that that is what I have, only that the error (whether intentional or not) is possible and looking at the rim does not disprove it's possibility. Easy enough to disprove with an acid test, though someone could have silver plated a 66 as well. My coin has the correct weight for a normal clad over copper quarter. It also has the whitish appearance of worn silver and toning to match that most all other clads do not. It's weight pretty much disproves any possibility of it being clad in silver. You could also do a specific gravity test or swing it on a metal detector to compare readings with other clads to see if there is any difference in the composition of the outer layers of the coin. Also, the 90% composition has been used, it's coin silver, just not on the outside of a clad quarter, that we know of, yet.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
