Nimerith New Member United States 1 Posts	Posted 11/01/2022 10:19 pm Hello, I happened upon an odd ohio State Quarter and it made me curious. I have never seen anything similar before. The quarter is silver on both sides.. (well looks silver like most shiny quarters)... However the edge around the outside seems to be part silver and a good portion copper. (Please forgive me for being clueless... I am new to all of this.) Any thoughts on what may have happened? Report this Post to the Staff

Earle42 is an expert on these. http://goccf.com/t/143863 Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures Report this Post to the Staff
JimmyD Bedrock of the Community Canada 21619 Posts	Posted 11/02/2022 07:29 am That is the copper core showing. Quarters are made with a copper core clad with copper/nickel. Can't tell by photo but it may have been exposed to acid which ate away part of the core. A clear photo of the edge would be required to say for sure. Report this Post to the Staff

My vote is for this to be a Dryer Coin.

merclover Bedrock of the Community United States 10635 Posts	Posted 11/02/2022 3:07 pm I encourage you not to hold your coins between your fingers like you are shown doing. Fingerprints can seriously damage the coins surface from oils in your skin. A better strategy is to use inexpensive cotton gloves or only handle coins from the edges. Just FYI. to the CCF!
