I thought its plated immediately but after taking a closer look, I dont think its plated. Just wondering what the experts Report this Post to the Staff

JimmyD Bedrock of the Community Canada 21815 Posts	Posted 08/17/2026 3:42 pm A silver quarter would weigh 6.25 g. Must be a plated quarter. Report this Post to the Staff
elliottite Valued Member United States 276 Posts	Posted 08/17/2026 4:00 pm 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 Report this Post to the Staff

elliottite Valued Member United States 276 Posts	Posted 08/17/2026 4:18 pm Ok, well I just went and had it xrayed at a local coin shop. It came back with being nickel and copper. So I am lost. Report this Post to the Staff

jbuck Moderator United States 193736 Posts	Posted 08/17/2026 4:33 pm I still think it is plated. I am not sure silver plating always registers on XRF.
