I found a Tennessee one just like this last year in a roll of quarters. Thought I had found silver. Then saw it was a state, looked it up, posted it here and got the same result. Nifty to hang onto, not worth more than a quarter. PMD Essentially.

Yup, plated. The only reasonable possibility.

Plated. Probably freed from an (overpriced) home shopping "collector" set. Still a fun find in my opinion.

 I was told mine wasn't worth anything. Kept it anyways. Somebody paid a premium on it once, and it wasn't me. :)

I suspect it is moset likely plated. To make sure, just weight it and a silver quarter is heavier than a regular one

I think these are actually plated with rhodium. Someone on the WG forums had Delaware and Pennsylvania quarters with silver edges that were also plated with rhodium. The rhodium helps keep the quarters shiny.
