1999 P Gold Delaware Quarter On Experimental Planchet?

to the CCF

We are going to need to see clear photos of both sides but
it sounds like it is just an aftermarket gold plated quarter.

Agree this sounds like an aftermarket plated quarter. None of them have any numismatic premium.

I don't think the OP has one, just seeking information.

And the ones offered online for $5000? That's what someone who doesn't know what it is is trying to sell it for. No one is actually buying one for that price.

Weights would be different on these:
Quarters Clad would be 5.67 grams.
And these coins would probably have the wider copper edge. (Not plated)
The Sac planchets will be 8.1 grams. So that would be the differences in weight. Seems they would mention this on the slab if that is the case. If this happened, it was probably the handy work of the worker that altered the $1.25 coins?


Would also explain a few wrong metal coins as well:








Funny how we can link things back to mint assisted events in a discussion? How to tell the fakes from the real deals? All comes down to weight.
