Calaglin New Member United States 19 Posts	Posted 06/14/2013 10:08 pm Please excuse my ignorance...I found a Rhode Island State Quarter in my change the other day, and it didn't have the copper band around the edge of it. I thought at first it was a silver quarter which is why it caught my attention. It has a mirror like surface, it also has a 'P' mint mark...I thought it looked like a proof coin, but I thought proof sets were all S marked... Could anyone help me? Is the coin silver? Thanks in advance all :) Report this Post to the Staff

None were official government mint issues, and the amount of precious metal in the plating is negligible. Still a neat find though.

xZACKx Pillar of the Community United States 648 Posts	Posted 06/15/2013 10:19 pm I would consider it a keeper. Has no value over 25 cent, but it's still pretty cool. Report this Post to the Staff
