Josephmbelka80 New Member United States 13 Posts	Posted 10/13/2020 12:55 am I found this quarter that only weights 4.6g and it sound identical to other silver coins. The coin isn't in the greatest shape either. Its also only about a little more than half as thick as a normal quarter. Any thoughts or suggestion wiuld be appreciated. Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 10/13/2020 11:28 am There are no 1980 silver quarters. They are clad that year. If the coin is thin, then it should be showing copper. Images would be a great help. If the coin is silver color and thin, it was probably plated after someone did an acid bath. 5.67 grams would be normal weight for a clad quarter.

lcutler Pillar of the Community United States 1657 Posts	Posted 12/21/2020 4:54 pm I can clearly see the copper showing through the corroded outer layer. Just a normal, badly corroded coin. Report this Post to the Staff
