<p>[QUOTE="Oldhoopster, post: 4879740, member: 84179"]Does it weigh 6 grams, 6.0 grams, or 6.00 grams in your scale. There is a big difference. A 1999 silver proof quarter weighs 6.25 gms. A standard quarter weighs 5.67 gms. If your scale only has resolution to 1 gm, then both coins will weigh the same at 6 grams. </p><p><br /></p><p>Your coin was plated after it left the mint. Ever since the state quarters started, people have been plating them with gold, silver, and who knows what else. Then they sell them to unknowing collectors as "valuable heirloom collectables". It looks like somebody finally got the true value from it when the spent it at face value[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
