Thomas21w New Member United States 15 Posts	Posted 07/05/2021 8:12 pm Found a 2002 Tennessee Denver minted quarter and it is unbelievably shiny on both front and back and the sides are even a completely shiny silver tone. It doesn't have any copper/brown hint to the sides. I compared it to a couple W quarters that are really pristine and it's a completely different color. It weighs 5.67 ounces so I think that's normal. I can't find anything that explains it so was hoping for some help identifying. Report this Post to the Staff

JimmyD Bedrock of the Community Canada 21610 Posts	Posted 07/05/2021 9:11 pm Looks like it has probably been plated. Not unusual with that series of quarters. It does not add any value to the coin. Report this Post to the Staff

Ballyhoo Pillar of the Community United States 1613 Posts	Posted 07/10/2021 5:19 pm Well within the tolerance of 5.7 grams. Plated might be an answer, why I wouldn't begin to theorize.

Cupronickel New Member United States 3 Posts	Posted 07/11/2021 4:51 pm Plated, probably with a (negligible) amount of silver. This phenomenon is unusually common with the 50 States quarters compared to ATB... Report this Post to the Staff
