Amy939 Valued Member United States 84 Posts	Posted 04/24/2019 6:30 pm Got this quarter back in change from gas station few days ago and I immediately realized how good of condition it was in but otherwise looks like any other new quarter. Today I noticed it doesn't have a copper layer showing on the edge of coin. Can someone explain why? Report this Post to the Staff

Amy939 Valued Member United States 84 Posts	Posted 04/24/2019 6:38 pm I'm sure I could Google this but would rather you explain what the purpose is of plating? Is it something to make it more special like in proof sets? Just wandering why it was in regular curculation Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 04/24/2019 7:37 pm They sold them on HSN to the rubes. When they realized they were not a collectible, they spent it. And they are still selling them online. https://www.hsn.com/products/1999-2...-gol/8777870 Edited by coop 04/24/2019 9:43 pm Report this Post to the Staff
John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 04/24/2019 8:03 pm I really don't know why they plate them in silver,platinum and gold. They sell these sets on tv to grandparents to give to their grandchildren. Later when the buyers or receivers realize they are only worth face value they spend them,that's how they end up in circulation. John1 Report this Post to the Staff

Amy939 Valued Member United States 84 Posts	Posted 04/30/2019 11:41 am levelsofmadnes it weighs 5.7g. If it was plated shouldn't it weigh more? Report this Post to the Staff
John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 04/30/2019 11:45 am The weight of the plating is very small and the mint tolerance needs to be factored in. John1 Report this Post to the Staff
