Phatum: To CCF. At one time the coin you see had been gold plated in mint sets Sold on TV. I know this due to me getting a couple sets. Its worth is 25 cent. Some have been spent on the market after being taken out of the sets.

HSN special. Worth face value.
When the States quarters came out, they were hot. People went gaga over them. They were saving sets for the grand children. They were give names to die events/coin events, jut to unload what they could cash in on. People were saving rolls to make albums with. Then it all died. But HSN had a gimmic there they were selling sets of the all the different mintmarks, Gold plated examples and Platinum plated coins. They sell them by the boat loads to the Rubes. Well the true collectors knew better than buying plated stuff, as it ruins the value of the coin to a collector. But the Rubes didn't know that. They were selling out all the could for many years. Now the rubes figured out that they were taken for a ride and now dumping these into the circulation. So you see these now and then when someone figures out they are just a face value coin and spend them.
