*** Moved by Staff to a more appropriate forum. ***

A friend stopped by last night with a box full of change for me to look through. It was mostly just spenders with the exception of 1-1964 silver quarter, 1-40% half, a few rolls of copper pennies, a handful of wheats including 1925 and 1927, and this oddball quarter. I think it's just one of those gold pated novelty quarters. Weight is 5.81 g. I scanned it next to a regular quarter to show the color difference. It's the first one of those I have come across in change.

back in the day when these state coins were popular, lots got a gold plating and sold for a premium on TV.

And then someone found out that their "valuable" coin was only worth face value.

Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures

Probably brass plated. At least it looks that way to me. What does the edge look like?

Gold colored, just like the obverse and reverse. It's definitely plated with something.
