What is not normal about this coin? (planchet issue?) These were plated by HSN with two different finishes. So if the edge is not showing copper, then that is what happened to it. There were some silver sets that year, but they are 'S' mint proofs. There were also 'S' mint proofs that were clad also that year.

@rbh, yes cropped pics would be super-helpful. I'm thinking that unless you have giant hands, this piece is much smaller than a normal quarter. Can you please add the weight and diameter to this thread?

Ah well, maybe I just have abnormally small hands.
In any case, it looks like the quarter is normally sized. Is it the color then that you are asking about? If you can tell us what you are seeing then we might be able to help you. Thx.

Well, it's a fairly Normal Looking Quarter (Maybe Slight Darker Tint) on Obverse. Reverse is Completely different; it's Gold up until the Ridge of the Coin then it appears it has a Silver ring around the very brim

Ok yes that last crop of pics is much better--thx! It might be environmental toning, but it also might be a quarter which has been gold washed as part of a marketing gimmick. There isn't enough gold to make this worth any more than face value.

There were several 1999 quarters made on the Sacagawea planchet. I actually saw and touched 2 of them. They are worth about $7500. In total I believe 19 have been found. BUT yours isn't one of them. The Sacagawea planchet is slightly larger. All you have is a basic quarter with either some environmental damage or a coin someone gold plated. It's only worth 25 cents.
