Spence Moderator United States 34453 Posts	Posted 04/28/2020 5:29 pm @kgill, for sure the surface of these quarters is not the "typical" color. A great first test for confirming a wrong planchet vs. environmental toning is to simply weigh the coins. If they are within mint specs or at least close, you almost certainly don't have a mint error. To that end, please weigh these and add the results to this thread. Thx.

Greasy Fingers Pillar of the Community United States 7109 Posts	Posted 04/28/2020 6:28 pm The Alaskan quarter looks interesting (showing some signs of luster), pictures of the coins edge would be very helpful...Montana (IMO) is a spender and Nevada was caused by heat being applied (IMO)....

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 04/28/2020 8:45 pm The coins are coated with a coating from toning or an outdoor find. Note the highest areas on the coin? They will turn back to the natural color with circulation. But a missing clad will never turn back to normal, because the new normal for that coin is the copper core. All spendable.
