What is this thing made of? I know very little about coins, but I know that this one is different. It looks almost bronze.

Howsabout a better lighted picture and a weight? Is it identical in size and thickness to a regular quarter , or is it thicker?

I suspect something called a sintered planchet and there was another thread that had a great explanation of what that is.

Click on this link. It is the same idea on a Dollar Coin.

It does look like the sintered planchet coins in the other pictures.
I will try to get some better pictures today, the ones that I posted earlier were just scans.
We did weight the thing on some digital scales and it weighed one tenth of a gram less than another Oklahoma quarter.
Thanks for your responce foundinrolls.
I guess a question I still have is if this is a sintered planchet of a different coin material why is it pretty much the same color as th dollar coins in the other pictures?
Also, the size and thickness is the same as a regular quarter.
I have this thing listed on ebay, I am going to go see if there is any interest.
Thanks again foundinrolls!
