Why does this look weird???

1967 quarter, it is in amazing condition, but looks like it is graphite. It weighs the same as other quarters just looks super weird

I really don't see anything wrong here. Maybe show us larger pictures of the coin Next Time??

 

Environmental damage.
Mineral etched from acidic soil?
Metal detector find, campfire, wishing well. Etc.

 

When exposed to salty or brackish water the Cupronickel clad will get that appearance. I've metal detected plenty of quarters with that dull appearance.

 

I took some larger pictures and put another quarter next to it. Hopefully, that'll help. I am lost

 

Thanks. It appears to be too much salt on them French fried potaters! Mmhmm.

Also, in the future, please create your threads in the correct forum. For example, if you think you might have a mint error there is a Error Coins section. If you want to show your US Coins then there's a US Coins and Coin Chat section.

Do not use the General Discussion forum to ask about a coin. That's for discussions such as..

What's your favorite music genre?
Who do you think will win the Superbowl?
Why is the sky blue?

In other words, non coin related subjects.
Except for politics and religion topics.

Fixed it for you

 

It’s been damaged by a chemical or exposure to the environment.

 

That superficial look is from an acid.

 

Yep, vinegar

 

Thank you! I will definitely be sure to do that.
