<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Virginian, post: 1150444, member: 27579&quot;]So I am gathering that this is not some recent change after all.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Believe me, there is not so much as a speck or trace of copper showing anywhere. I should add that this is from the Philadelphia mint and is clearly not a proof coin anyway, so I am sure it isn&#039;t silver. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Maybe this is a phoney-nbaloney &quot;platimum-plated&quot; state quarter from one of those jokers like on the home shopping channels(?). But in that case, I guess I would have expected the reeded edge to be &quot;shallower&quot; from the plating between the &quot;teeth&quot; of the reeded edge, whereas if anything, the teeth on the reeded edge of this coin are more pronounced that normal.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Also, after my forst post, I looked around and couldn&#039;t find any more recent quarters, but I found one from 2003 with the copper clad I expected to see, and if you compare this quarter to that one, this one seems to be noticeably lighter in weight.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I am starting to think this is just some kind of alteration or forgery that fooled me into thinking they changed the quarters without me ever noticing. Still not sure how they made it weigh less though.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Anyway, any thoughts are appreciated.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
