2006 Nebraska Quarter With Some Gold And Lighter In Weight, D Mint

to the Community!

I agree with John's assessment. This is a post-mint alteration, sold at a premium but a third party as a "collector issue." Sadly, they were often overpriced and failed to retain any value above face. This is how they end up in our change. Regardless, they are still fun to find because they are different.

Ui agree with above ... After market colorized, plated coin.

I am curious why you think the weight is light?

What does it weigh?

I failed to mention, the entire side(s) of the coin is all silver no copper color there. Does that change anything?

No offense but unless you have had a lot of practice/training judging small weight differences by feel, the average person can't tell a weight difference between two objects unless it is more than 5 grams or so. Even with training you can rarely detect weight difference of less than a gram. You would not believe the number of people that come on on-line forums and say they have a coin that weighs less than it should because they can feel the lower weight. and when they finally weigh it it weighs the same as it should or even more. It is just a psychological thing. You see something "different" and subconsciously you expect it to weight "different" and so you perceive that is does.



Not really, it just means the plated the whole thing with a silver colored metal before they did the selective gold plating.
