[QUOTE="hontonai, post: 585841, member: 4703"]US quarters minted after 1964 are composed of an inner layer of copper clad with outer layers of copper-nickle, and have that two-toned sandwich appearance. The slicing of blanks from three-layered sheets results in a variety of edge appearances, with different degrees of copper coloration, caused by the shearing effect of the blank punches. Your odd one appears to have some sort of post-mint damage. BTW it's generally not a good idea to hold coins the way you did for the pictures.[/QUOTE]
