johntookit Pillar of the Community United States 589 Posts	Posted 04/25/2014 01:34 am I found this quarter, it is not silver but the edges look like the Canadian quarter. It is a 2005 State Quarter P-mint. I took a silver one to show the difference. would this count as an error coin? Thanks in advance Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 04/25/2014 01:45 am Looks like one of the TV hucksters coins that were plated in platinum. Worth a quarter. If you take a razor blade to the inside reeding area in the rim, when you scratch it, you will see copper. Do this over a device like the "A" in America so you can find it easier when you check.
