Chances are if it looks like it has no copper and it has an s mint mark it is a Proof silver Quarter that some one has removed from a proof set.

"s" proof quarters of this year are proof issues. They are struck at higher pressure multiple times on specially prepared planchets. They will show mirrored fields with frosted devices. Pictures would help along with the weight. Those two things will help us steer you in the right direction.

Just curious. What ever happened with the OP's quarter? Inquiring minds would be interested! Thanks, Bill

When last heard from (August of 2010) he had not sent the coin into PCGS yet. If you mean what was the official decision it turned out the be struck on aslightly smaller "orphan" planchet of copper nickel composition. Orphan meaning no one knows where the planchet came from or how it got into the production stream.
