Hey guys. New here! I have had this coin for a week or so and thought I saw a video online taking about the mint errors regarding the silver plating. This one that I have appears to be peeling on the reverse side up in the right hand corner. What are your thoughts? In the right light you can see the greenish raw material of the quarter underneath. If better pictures are needing please advise on how to achieve. Thank you
Need a close up. The U.S. Mint did not plate those coins.If it is silver plated it was done after it left the mint. There are companies that plate them with silver, gold and platinum which makes them PMD.Also could use a photo of the edge. John1
What is the technical term in coins for the finish on them? It does however not appear to be dirty as I have picked at it with a toothpick and some other things whatever it is it's not coming off. I will see what I can do to get better photos.
technical info: this quarter is clad. with a copper center or core and outer layers made from Cupro Nickel. Note: coins react to the surrounding environment and can turn any number of different colors or shades.
