Roller42 Valued Member United States 85 Posts	Posted Today 3H 53M ago * Moved by Staff to a more appropriate forum. * A friend stopped by last night with a box full of change for me to look through. It was mostly just spenders with the exception of 1-1964 silver quarter, 1-40% half, a few rolls of copper pennies, a handful of wheats including 1925 and 1927, and this oddball quarter. I think it's just one of those gold pated novelty quarters. Weight is 5.81 g. I scanned it next to a regular quarter to show the color difference. It's the first one of those I have come across in change. Report this Post to the Staff

Dearborn Moderator United States 102088 Posts	Posted Today 3H 50M ago back in the day when these state coins were popular, lots got a gold plating and sold for a premium on TV. Collecting since 1972.

jbuck Moderator United States 192545 Posts	Posted Today 3H 31M ago Probably brass plated. At least it looks that way to me. What does the edge look like?
