I found a 2002 Tennessee quarter in circulation last year that looked exactly like this. Turned out it was coated. When the State Quarters came out tons of companies did weird things to them and over charged for them. Colors, gold plated, platinum plated, etc. It could be one of those. Almost no premium added to it but I kept mine since somebody sent more money for it and it wasn't me. :)

It would be quite a clever scam to buy lots of impaired clad State Quarter proofs and silver plate them, passing them off as impaired silver proofs since the only easy way to distinguish them would be weight. I am wondering if someone has done this; you could make a couple bucks per coin if you were to do this I suppose.

I see an S mintmark, so it appears to be a silver proof. 90% silver. Nice find!
Yes, a nice find.

Great eyes spotting the S. I completely missed it.
