Probably plated, a "home shopping" special released to the wild. Only worth face, but a fun keeper.

I'm going with a plated quarter for now, but I'll wait to see what the weight is.

A silver quarter would weigh 6.25 g.
Must be a plated quarter.

Correct me if I'm wrong. A standard clad quarter weighs 5.7. If this was a clad quarter that was plated it would would weigh more than that. This one weighs 5.6. Slightly less. Something isn't jiving....thank you for all help

Label and keep it as a curiosity and future reference.

I still think it is plated. I am not sure silver plating always registers on XRF.  |

If the planchet started out light, then the plating could bring up the weight to almost normal.

It could be nickel-plated.
Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures
