Waynoah83 Pillar of the Community 586 Posts	Posted 04/13/2018 02:12 am Looks like you found a proof strike. It's not made out of silver but it's still a pretty cool find in circulation. They pop up from time to time. They are usually sold in sets when they release that coin into normal circulation. Not worth much more than a regular quarer now that's it's been dinged up from being released into the wild so to speak Report this Post to the Staff
Waynoah83 Pillar of the Community 586 Posts	Posted 04/13/2018 02:13 am It looks different from a normal quarter because they use a special die that is polished and a lot more detail. But it is not silver sorry to say Report this Post to the Staff

FrankenCoin Valued Member United States 150 Posts	Posted 04/13/2018 1:42 pm Ya always a marketeer out there: Quote: Lon, it is also helpful to remember that he's talking about a US Statehood Quarter which were plated and sold by the droves by Mike Mezack in his various business ventures. (HSN, CSN, etc.) While it is indeed very possible that the coin is as you suggest it is overwhelmingly more likely that the coin has been plated. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 04/13/2018 3:03 pm The easiest way to tell if it is plaited is to make a scratch between the reeds on the edge of the coin: Report this Post to the Staff
