Sometimes when the blank is punched from the strip the outer later of coppernickel is smeared over the copper edge and hides it.&nbsp; Second possibility, and the more likely one is that you have a coin that has been silver plated by an outside firm.&nbsp; There are several companies out there that are silver, gold, and even &quot;platinum&quot; plating state quarters for sale as &quot;collectibles&quot;.&nbsp; When the poor saps that buy them then later try to sell them and find that they have no collector value and are just worth face value, they spend them.&nbsp; Then people find them in change and think they have something special and turn to online forums asking about them.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
