So I found a 2001 P minted Kentucky Quarter that appears to be silver but It doesn't weigh like a silver but the sides show nothing but a silver Color. Could it be printed on a different currency coin? Please help thank you everyone so much!!

more than likely it has been plated silver.
use a sharp knife to scrape between the reeding - more than likely see the normal cladding

http://www.PCGScoinfacts.com/Coin/Detail/14002. Normal weight is 5.67g, means it's been plated with silver or mercury most likely

I also found a 2001 p kentucky State Quarter that has an all silver reeding. It looks like clad not silver but that copper ring around the edge reeding isn't there. I havent gotten a chance to weigh it yet. It appears to be thinner than a State Quarter should be. It's in excellent condition like it was minted yesterday.

Plated with Mercury. I don't think so. Mercury is poisonous and is in a liquid state. I have a coin just like it and it seems thinner and I definitely know it's not silver.

to the CCF!

Mercury coins aren't really plated. It would be more of a mercury "wash" to recolor the metal. Here's an older topic on these. CCF "Mercury Plated" Topic from 2011 I'm sure you can find others.
