This is my first post. I hope I've done this correctly.

I think I have an all copper US quarter 2000. Is this possible ?

Sincerely,

It is possible that the blank was missing the clad layers. However, this can also be the result of someone removing the clad layer, usually with acid. If you post a picture the experts here can probably tell you which you have.

to CCF. A photo of the obverse and reverse and edge would help the pros give you an answer.

Several explanations.
The outer layer was removed by someone. Usually for fun
Or it could just be a plated coin, also made for fun.
Unlikely it is an all Copper coin though. If you had a sensative scale you could weigh it. Less than normal weight would indicate the outer layer has been removed.
Rest in Peace

Also a coin buried in the ground for a while will develope a copper color. As others already said pics and if possible weight are needed.

Most likely Environmental discoloration

Next most likely someone plated the coin with copper

Next most likely Struck on a cent planchet

Least likely both clad layers missing.
