I thought its plated immediately but after taking a closer look, I dont think its plated. Just wondering what the experts Report this Post to the Staff

jbuck Moderator United States 192939 Posts	Posted Today 6H 27M ago Probably plated, a "home shopping" special released to the wild. Only worth face, but a fun keeper.

JimmyD Bedrock of the Community Canada 21773 Posts	Posted Today 1H 10M ago A silver quarter would weigh 6.25 g. Must be a plated quarter. Report this Post to the Staff
elliottite Valued Member United States 268 Posts	Posted Today 52M ago 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 Report this Post to the Staff
snailking1 Pillar of the Community United States 1680 Posts	Posted Today 47M ago Can't be silver, then. A silver proof should weigh 6.25. Report this Post to the Staff

jbuck Moderator United States 192939 Posts	Posted Today 19M ago I still think it is plated. I am not sure silver plating always registers on XRF.
