<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Conder101, post: 1213201, member: 66&quot;]As Green says there are tons of these plated coins out there floating around.&nbsp; We get a question like yours about them maybe once or twice a week.&nbsp; (They now out pace the &quot;I have a two headed coin, is it real&quot; question.)&nbsp; If you really want to check for sure, first try weighing it.&nbsp; A plated clad quarter will weigh about 5.7 grams, a silver one will weigh 6.25 grams.&nbsp; If it weighs close to 5 grams then it may be a quarter struck on a nickel planchet.&nbsp; If it does weigh close to 6.25 grams and you want to really make sure you would need to run a specific gravity test on it.&nbsp; A plated clad quarter would have an sg of 8.92, a silver quarter has an sg of 10.34[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
