Hi folks. This is my debut so bear with me. I have an entire ammo box full of old coins but we're get to that eventually.
I received two quarters around Xmas that are gold in color, 2006, Colorado specific, Denver mint, and the mountains are like a pearl silver. What are they? My guess is some junk from TV or internet.
Thanks in advance!

Yes, those sound like State Quarters which were "enhanced" somehow and sold to someone for, unfortunately,more than they are worth.

Sounds like you nailed it with the "junk from TV."

Thanks for the welcome, jbuck. And all, thanks for the reply. I'll use them at the car wash!

Gold plating coins seem to be particularly popular in the US. I have a small collection of them in my "altered coins" collection.

I admit, with apologies to @jbuck, that I even have a few gold-plated IKEs! Is nothing sacred?

Probably a pretty good guess.
