I have a 2000 New Hampshire quarter (which I had to look up the year and state) has a layer of some kind of metal coating on it. Is that an error? Or would it have happened after been sent out!? Please lmk, sorry if the pics aren't great don't have the best camera but can try to take new ones if needed to see better Report this Post to the Staff

Spence Moderator United States 34419 Posts	Posted 01/02/2023 7:25 pm @hma, that sure looks like damage, but if it is a layer on top of the coin, then it should add to the weight. Can you please get us an accurate weight? Thx.

Spence Moderator United States 34419 Posts	Posted 01/02/2023 8:24 pm Ok well the weight seems in the normal range. I still think that damage is the best explanation for these surfaces. Are the reeds on the edges worn smooth or still prominent?

hmabbitt07 New Member United States 29 Posts	Posted 01/03/2023 12:29 pm My Lenovo legend duel 2 phone but when I get home I will check the reeds to me is looks like some kinda of paint or maybe an accidental extra coat over top. Idk much about the making coins process but I guess it's time to look it up, lol. Also when I get home I'll use my husband's phone to see if I can get better pics with his phone sometimes he's can get better pics than mine. Thank you so much for the help!!
