Skyelanden New Member United States 1 Posts	Posted 08/23/2020 7:06 pm I am new to coin collecting, so I need some assistance in clarification on the 2006 Colorado Silver Quarter. Which mints produced the Silver variety of this coin? What I have found is that the silver is only found from the "S" or San Francisco mint. Is this true? Why I ask is I have a 2006 "P" silver Colorado coin. Yes I am 100% sure it is silver. I have pictures but am having difficulty uploading to the forum. Report this Post to the Staff

The free optimizer can make that process easier. In the meanwhile, can you please post the weight of this coin and why you are convinced that it was made from a silver alloy (i.e. as opposed to be silver-plated by someone with too much time on their hands)?

coin searching Valued Member United States 182 Posts	Posted 08/24/2020 1:48 pm Yes, only SF makes 2006 silver quarters. If it is from P, it is almost certainly plated. Weight will help confirm that. Report this Post to the Staff
Big-Kingdom Pillar of the Community United States 1667 Posts	Posted 08/24/2020 3:21 pm It likely isn't silver, but it's likely plated in Platinum. The silver quarters are proof finish and done at San Francisco, so they have an S mint mark. You didn't post a picture to be sure, but I can tell you that the State Quarters and State park quarters were both plated and sold in a marketing ploy to the unsuspecting and there were gold plated sets as well as platinum plated sets. You can look up gold or platinum plated quarters and see all of them being offered by various companies with P or D mintmarks. all of them are plated, and somione overpaid for them, took them to a coin shop likely, and were offered 25 cents for them so spent them.
