OK, I found a quarter that looks black, and weighs less than a regular quarter. on the sides there is no copper lines in sight. could it be missing a clad layer?
please reply soon,
Avery

It appears to be a highly oxidized quarter to me. With the right humidity and heat you can do this sort of thing yourself.
What's the date?

Looks like a metal detector find that was released back into circulation to me.

I have a really, really dark quarter that I found by the side of an asphalt road. No telling how many years it had lain there in the sun, soaking up the sun and exhaust fumes.
