<p>[QUOTE="beef1020, post: 2401671, member: 24544"]Please don't take offense to this as you are new, it's meant to help. Your quarter does not look like the one in the picture that Old Error Guy posted. When coins come out of the mint their surface has luster, a shimmery quality created by the striking process. Like a brand new penny, moved around in the light it glimmers a bit.</p><p><br /></p><p>Your coin has the dull, lifeless look and color of a coin that has mild corrosion. If it had that color with the same luster I would say it was a missing clad error as well. But with the surface condition of your coin it is most likely just a regular quarter with surface corrosion. With that said, weight would confirm the question, but it needs to be accurate down to hundredths of grams. If you have a balance type scale you could use that too with another quarter.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
