Turned it over and it looked funny. It is thinner and lighter than any normal quarter and looks copper colored on one side. Any help would be appreciated. Report this Post to the Staff

It seems to have weaker than normal details which is consistent with other genuine errors and the color is right. If you can get better pics or even scans to verify, that would be great!
