coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 04/28/2016 12:50 pm Looks like a stain on the EPU. Coins do turn color with time. Sometimes the element change them, storage can also turn a coin. But out in the wild, who knows what affected this coin? Report this Post to the Staff
Jimmyjohns7724 Valued Member United States 198 Posts	Posted 04/28/2016 12:53 pm It's a perfect finish on the Obverse though? I read as much as I could find on State Quarters having experimental planchets in the early years on PA and Delaware quarters having a green tone to them. Is it no possibility this was a leftover?

Jimmyjohns7724 Valued Member United States 198 Posts	Posted 04/28/2016 1:02 pm Is it best to just pay the $5 and have coins in question be attributed? It seems like no matter what, if it's not in cherrypickers or unquestionably obvious, the answer is always no. I'm not implying you're wrong, but in looking at full variety listings, even the smallest thing is worth more than FV. I can't see why a coin would turn satin on only one side, where State Quarters have been intentionally produced in satin finish,and it raise no question whatsoever? Report this Post to the Staff
biokemist6 Bedrock of the Community United States 12437 Posts	Posted 04/28/2016 1:15 pm The experimental planchets used in 1999 were a trial for metal stock intended for the new golden dollars, their color is quite different from that of cupronickel clad. Since it was an experimental trial, there is virtually no chance a planchet was used three years after the test and then subsequently entered circulation. State Quarters did not have a satin finish until 2005 when that treatment was used for Mint Set coins. Once again, you are in the wrong time period for that to be a possibility. I do not see anything on that coin resembling a satin finish, it looks more like oxidation had dulled it.

Jimmyjohns7724 Valued Member United States 198 Posts	Posted 04/28/2016 1:24 pm Varietyvista.com has a plethora of coins not on cherrypickers. I understand it's not an experimental planchet or both sides would probably look the same. The planchets were however known to have a greenish tone on some. Then they started satin in 2005 so what if it was experimental clad? There's too many discoveries of 1960 coins being noticed in the 90's for me to not question the possibility. In 1980, if someone had an SMS Nickel from 1964, you guys would've called him an idiot. After 1993, that SMS Nickel was verified and worth $10+. Again I'm not arguing that I'm right on this particular coin, but there are endless possibilities on newercoins that may take 20 years to show up on cherrypickers. Just my amateur opinion.

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 04/28/2016 1:26 pm Stuff happens to coin in circulation. I checked ebay and you buy all 5 2005-2006 Denver satin finish quarters for $8.00. http://www.ebay.com/itm/2005-and-20...AOSwNyFWfaL1 There were only released in mint sets. None in general circulation. (Unless someone cut them out and spent them) Report this Post to the Staff
