Spence Moderator United States 34564 Posts	Posted 08/28/2023 10:55 am Plating seems to be the most likely explanation. Is a strong magnet attracted to it?

Brandmeister Pillar of the Community United States 6906 Posts	Posted 08/28/2023 11:21 am Spence, which plating metal would attract a magnet to a clad coin? Very doubtful that it is a silver State Quarter planchet, as those were 6.25g. So I agree with others that this coin was plated with something. Given the high reflectiveness, maybe it was chromed?

Dearborn Moderator United States 108190 Posts	Posted 08/28/2023 3:18 pm that is far too shiny to be a silver quarter - this one was plated. Collecting since 1972.
