My2cent Valued Member United States 484 Posts	Posted 03/11/2021 1:11 pm I understand that I'm not supposed to post more than one coin per topic so I will just say that I received 2 p mint Statehood Quarter's from the same place and day in the same condition but from different years. What is the reason why it wouldn't have a copper layer? Report this Post to the Staff

My2cent Valued Member United States 484 Posts	Posted 03/11/2021 2:23 pm I can clearly see damage to the reading that tells me it was used to pay for the pool table or the Jukebox. Shouldn't I be able to see the copper showing through there if it was plated? Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 03/11/2021 2:43 pm Weight would be your friend to convince you: Check the weights for the clad quarter and the silver quarter. Or you could expose the copper on one of the reeds of the coin: Report this Post to the Staff
My2cent Valued Member United States 484 Posts	Posted 03/11/2021 3:11 pm 5.77 is the weight. I put a picture of it on my post. I suppose I could scrape it like you said. I didn't really want to because it is in excellent condition but I will Edited by My2cent 03/11/2021 3:17 pm Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 03/11/2021 3:20 pm Well the clad weight was 5.67 grams. So figure in the plating, then it make sense. Not a Silver coin as that weight was 6.25 grams. Report this Post to the Staff
My2cent Valued Member United States 484 Posts	Posted 03/11/2021 5:11 pm Of course unless the ridiculously impossible happened and a 40% silver Bicentennial planchet happen to get in there LOL. I did scratch it like you said and of course sure enough there emerged the copper layer Edited by My2cent 03/11/2021 8:57 pm Report this Post to the Staff
