I think it has been subjected to environmental damage. Maybe @paddyman98 will chime in. He is an avid metal detectorist and has many coins that look similar to this.

environmental damage worth 25 cents..

 

OK.. He we go again.. As stated.. It's Environmental Damage!
Not a Copper Quarter. I metal detect and I have found hundreds of examples of quarters just like yours. Soil, sand, dirt and water can and will affect the surface of a clad layer coin and even a nickel


You do not have a mint error.. Worth? 25 cents

 

Environmental damaged.

Welcome to CT.

 

A copper quarter, will usually have one clad layer missing. One side copper, and one side silver colored. It will also weigh less because of the missing clad layer.
When you have 2 sides that appear rusted, it's almost 100% that it is because it is rusted. Surf around the site (search box) for missing clad layer. The photos are impressive. Here's a half clad missing:

 

Perfect answer and image for this new members question. Good to see!

Thanks, I found this coin in change. But I also am a metal detector Dude...n this did not look like anything I’ve taken out of ground

 

That would be because someone else before you found it in the ground then put it in circulation. In December of last year I took over $1000.00 in coins I detected to a Coinstar machine. So there are plenty of Environmentaly damaged coins out there in circulation.. Dude.

 

7 years worth of environmental damage in clad coins and nickels..

 

I am also a Mint Error specialist. 34 years collecting mint errors.
Here are true examples of missing clad layer exposing the copper on just one side of a clad coin..
From my collection -

The other sides look normal.. Dude

 

Looks like my quarter....

 

.

 

But it's not.. One more time. Your Quarter is Environmental damage. Missing clad layer error occurs on just one side.

And.. If it were a quarter struck on a cent Planchet it would be the same size meaning width, thickness and weight of a cent.

You don't have an error so leave it alone.

 

The first cent your picture show looks legit.
The second on third quarters look like missing clad layer and if you look it will tell you that it's only on one side.

By the way the 2 missing clad layers are ridiculously over priced. I have 2 missing clad layers that are certified in slabs that I paid less than $200.00 each for.. That would be the true value for them.. Not those prices!

 

Damn...

 

You might need glasses.
Those look nothing like yours.

 

First time on here....I liked all of your responses
Thanks. Can you delete a post

 

No. It is here for the rest of eternity.

 

I know but...?
