sepoctgirls New Member United States 1 Posts	Posted 03/28/2017 01:33 am I recently somehow received a 2005 S Minnesota Quarter that looks fake to me. It has no copper looking strip in middle on sides and is very light compared to normal quarters. Could someone tell me if I have a counterfeit here or if it is just some printing error? My bank of course has no clue. Report this Post to the Staff

spru Bedrock of the Community United States 12477 Posts	Posted 03/28/2017 02:35 am Please do post an obverse pic. As Druu said, it is possibly a silver proof from a mint set not intended for circulation. The "S" mintmark will help clarify and also the weight if you can get that. You say it's light but a silver proof weighs more than a normal clad proof/business strike. The clad proof/business strike should be 5.67g. The silver proof should be 6.3g.
