[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 81035, member: 112"]Howdy bizlur - Welcome to the Forum !! What I think is that you have an ordinary quarter. It doesn't happen all that often, but it does happen sometimes that when clad coins are struck that the clad layer is pushed down over the copper center. Thus no copper shows on the edge. If you examine any group of clad coins you will see that quite often the copper shpwing on the edge is quite uneven. The difference in materials moves up and down around the edge as you turn the coin. Sometimes almost the entire edge will be copper - sometimes just a sliver. And sometimes - it will be just like your coin with no copper showing. But just to make sure - weigh your coin on a scale that measures to the hundreth of a gram. If the weight is correct - you have just what I explained above - an ordinary quarter.[/QUOTE]
