I don't have an accurate scale to weigh it. * Edited by Staff to Add Year / Mintmark / Denomination to Title. Titles are Important! * Report this Post to the Staff

DeadElvis Valued Member United States 137 Posts	Posted 04/27/2020 3:43 pm Believe the pros before me ALWAYS - but I think it looks copper plated. Put "copper plate quarter" into your favorite search engine and search videos. It's a fairly easy experiment a lot of people do. I can't tell from the pics but look closely at edges and see if you can tell if/where an alligator clip was attached. Edit: Many quarters found in the ground metal detecting get a tone like this as well. Edited by DeadElvis 04/27/2020 3:49 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Greasy Fingers Pillar of the Community United States 7009 Posts	Posted 04/27/2020 6:22 pm I'm seeing some "silver" coloring on the reverse rim, IMO that coin has been in the ground for some time and spent after that... PMD Report this Post to the Staff
