Hey Guy's
I metal detect on weekends and when I get enough Clad I tumble them to get them clean and put back into circulation.Today After cleaning the silver clad I noticed this one.It has a Golden tone to it.It was the only Quarter that came out like this.The other 24 Quarters were normal color.Is there anything to this one?Any Ideas appreciated

Looks like it may have been one of those that was gold plated and found it's way into circulation?

I have a couple sets of the statehood quarters put away in plastic rolls, and there are lots of them that have this "golden tone" to them.

Must be something in the air?

sulfer from paper will cause golden toning like that, I've seen golden jeffersons toned from being in paper holders (such as the 1993 coin and currency set).

When these newer quarters sit in a jar a tap water they will tone that color then will adventully turn brown/black if left in long enough.

During the 1950's they used to store Cents in small envelopes. They found out later it turned them dark and ruined them. It happens. Sometimes what you do to coins, later turns out to be the wrong thing.
