For a living I do construction. We recently had a demo job at a old pharmacy.Being the collector that I am I snagged every coin I could find. This one happened to be by one of the old cash registers. They had it taped on a pole and when I dropped it in acetone to better make out the date,etc the word FAKE was on the reverse of it. It is defiantly not the same as a normal quarter. Weighs one gram less. If it isn't fake then I'm thinking it might be missing a layer or something... I can kind of make out the date to be 1990. It is a little crusty though so please bare with.  |

Looks to have had its outer clad layer removed by acid.

 That looks genuine, but acid damaged. |

I agree with the others ....looks real
But something acidic has taken away some of this coin

Some acids can will dissolve the nickel and leave the copper. This is probably what happened.

I heard that being in a water fountain for a long period of time could do this to a quarter. The lower or higher pH could do this. Snowman
