<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ROBERT THOMASON, post: 2657126, member: 84116&quot;]Any silver statehood quarters should have the S mintmark, as the silver proof coins were only minted in San Fran. </p><p>Back in &#039;99, when the state quarter program started, I lived in South Jersey, across the Delaware River from Philadelphia. At that time, I kept every state quarter I found (something I got over in a year or two).</p><p>When I was divesting myself of my accumulation of state quarters, I came across a Delaware, with P mintmark, that I had saved without noticing that there was no copper showing on the edge.</p><p>By comparing it with both a clad quarter and a silver one, it is obviously not silver due to the color being identical to the clad. Silver is more white in color. Weight is slightly lighter than the clad.</p><p>The edge reeding lines up correctly with other quarters, but appears to be slightly flat (the reeds are wider than on other quarters). Perhaps caused by a slightly undersized planchet that didn&#039;t fill the die area completely?</p><p>I&#039;m thinking that perhaps mine was stamped out from the end of a roll of clad material that didn&#039;t contain a copper center layer (but it seems like it would then be grossly underweight).</p><p>A local coin dealer friend suggested that I submit it to one of the grading companies to find out what it might be. But, I don&#039;t know if it would be worth the trouble or expense. </p><p>I don&#039;t know if this might help explain what you might have, but at least we both know that such things do exist out there.....[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
