Can't be silver, then. A silver proof should weigh 6.25.

Correct me if I'm wrong. A standard clad quarter weighs 5.7. If this was a clad quarter that was plated it would would weigh more than that. This one weighs 5.6. Slightly less. Something isn't jiving....thank you for all help
Tolerance is 5.443 grams to 5.897 grams.

Label and keep it as a curiosity and future reference.

Might just be one of those weird occurrences when the wear just makes the edge look silver.

I still think it is plated. I am not sure silver plating always registers on XRF.

If the planchet started out light, then the plating could bring up the weight to almost normal.
Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on

It could be nickel-plated.
Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures

Any coin that I have ever seen that was plated, the detail in the devices were affected. Which on this coin they are not.

I have seen plenty of plated coins with great details. It just depends on the technique used.

Silver can be spread the second thinnest of any metal. Only behind gold. One of the main reasons it is used.

Not enough of it present. There are always trace impurities in any alloy and I never see that show up either.
