Steel core, nickel plating, copper plating, final nickel plating. Coins and Canada site calls it an alloy but it calls all plated coins "alloy" I have a quarter here in my desk at work. I just scratched it with a knife and I can see copper. Your pursuit of possibilities for your 25c is very interesting. If it's not PMD, the odds are astronomical for a mint error with the appearance and exact placement of Cindy Klassen bearing an Olympic torch. Had you considered submitting it for certification?

robmck1967 Pillar of the Community Canada 870 Posts	Posted 08/05/2016 2:35 pm I appreciate everyone's opinion. Thank you. I will file it with a question mark I guess. I won't send it for certification. Not worth it. More than anything, I like to post coins that get a healthy debate going, especially one that could go either way. The value of the coin is irrelevant. The value of this site is priceless! It was a fun piece to post and discuss. Report this Post to the Staff

robmck1967 Pillar of the Community Canada 870 Posts	Posted 11/03/2016 10:21 pm Well thanks to SPP for taking a look at this coin for me and confirming that this is truly a plating error. Maybe there isn't much monetary value to this coin, but I think it's pretty darn cool! Report this Post to the Staff

It sure is, an unusually suitable error that I think most any collector would be very happy to own, including me. Thanks for the update! And so the copper is an actual thin layer, that's also good to know. Report this Post to the Staff
