As far as weight I could not do that at least not here at home. But as far as the color goes pretty much what you see in pic is what it is the color is the same all the way through the quarter the silvery appearance more then anything is glare. as far as size or the quarter it appears to be identical in all ways to any ordinary quarter maybe the slightest amount thinner and that would be a smaller margin then the thickness of a sheet of paper.

I hope this helps some more

My initial feeling on looking at the pics is that the coin is toned - possibly from exposure to a chemical.

Can you provide a pic of the edge? Does the edge show a copper layer sandwiched between the nickel layers?

I have been having some trouble getting an edge pic still working on that but the coloring seems to be the same all the way through Obverse center and reverse seem to be all the same color as if it is one solid metal through and through

I assume it's the one on the left? Pretty neat way to take the picture. Still hard to tell for sure, but it does look like solid color throughout. I have never experimented with AT (artificial toning), so I don't know if it would affect the edges.

One thing I can tell for certain from your pics is that you either clean your keyboard a lot, or you hunt and peck when you type. There is no discoloration on your letter "J", and this is usally the case with a traditional typer.

That coin is probably a cleaned "metal detector" find. It looks exactly like those I clean for recirculation. Clad coins don't do well in the ground and to clean them I boil them in a vinegar/salt solution. It cleans off most of the gunk, but turns them all pink. Stores don't like them, so I usually save them for vending machines. If I am correct the value would be .25 in a vending machine. Hope this helps.

Thanks for all the input I plan on experimenting with the vinager and salt solution and boiling with another quarter to see if it ends up with the same appearance. Could you tell me how much salt to vinager to water you usually use and how long you boil. Also does this discoloration ever go away through handling, and / or time.

Some of the other answers seem to be a little off or just don't feel right but I do appreciate all your inputs. And respect them as well knowing that you share you knowledge to the best of your abilities and to so by only looking at photos.

Thanks Again

any other thoughts on this coin would be greatly appreciated as well.

I don't think it's an error because I get coins like that all the time.

it also could be dipped or plated. I think if the layer was missing the coin would be thinner than the other one. both look whole so I would say either plated or the cleaning that was mentioned before
Gary too

In a quart of water you put a cup of vinegar and two tbs of salt bring to boil and it takes about 10 minutes.

I have a 1995 P that really is missing both clads. I picked it up while working at a restaurant when I noticed it was copper colored and very thin.
I have included 2 scans of this quarter next to a normal quarter for comparison.

I'll try my digital camera once I find it.
Any guess on a value?
