I have a 2005 kansas quarter weighing approx, 5.7 I'm not to confident in this scale and plan to weigh it on another scale very soon. this quarter shows no layers in metal tones laterally on the edge of the coin, like a silver quarter perhaps from 1964. for example. It is stamped with a P and seems to be in great shape although it has been in circulation for 12yrs.(possibly)   |

Probably silver plated, no additional value.

Welcome to CCF! The edge could have been plated.

Clearly it's not SILVER. By the weight of it.
But why is it not be accounted for, as a certified error. Honestly it's very uncommon to find any coin in this format. PERIOD. It's an error in 5step printing. Correct me if I'm wrong. Tell me how often do you see this in any coin through out all coins other then this 2005 Kansas quarter. Like the others reported in just this quarter.

What are you talking about? I don't see anything unusual with this Quarter, other than having its reeding worn off.

The TV shopping shows created tens if not hundreds of thousands of sets of gold, silver, and platinum plated State Quarters that the sold for ridiculous amounts of money. When people later tried to sell their "valuable" sets they learned that the coins were only worth face value and either spent them themselves, or went ahead and sold them for face value and the dealers then rolled them up and sent them to the bank releasing them into circulation. People come to the online forums all the time asking about these things. |

I want to thank for all of the support, I am excited to see what I can learn from this coin with this support It's a 1988 D quarter that seems to be missing a few letters on reverse, if this post is enough to to take interest on the rest of the concerns that spread to me as errors, It would be a pleasure. Let me start with this section of the quarter |

They were prevented to be struck up on the coin because of grease on the die. How can you tell? The devices are tapered at the top of the devices (to allow the coin to come off the die) and when grease prevents the strike, just the lower parts or none of that device can strike up. Yours looks like the devices are enlarged. But that is what happened. Not real collectable until a 80% or higher blockage happens. Then it will look something like this one:  |
