[QUOTE="rprice12741, post: 811854, member: 21793"]Any informative feedback on: I have found a 1999p Conn. Quarter which I thought at 1st glance to be a Canadian Quarter - it was in a change device which allowed me to see the coins from the sides; it was obviously not silver, but I pulled it out anyway. It has no copper showing on side/edge. I took it to one fellow I know who owns a coin shop and has been around a long time (an "old timer"), and he said he did not think it was missing the copper sheet; he thought it was an "off metal" (his terminology) coin. He explained that the US Mint strikes coins for several other countries (1st time I've heard of this), and he thought that it was struck on the wrong metal. Anyway, he suggested sending it in to be graded and certified with a note that off metal was suspected. So I am getting ready to send it in to be graded and certified. Thought I would ask here 1st before spending the $35 bucks if anyone has heard of this and even better has 1st hand knowldge of this. No pictures yet - THANKS FOR YOUR TIME AND HELP. r[/QUOTE]
