Found this in my pocket! I noticed this by the slightly smaller bust than other quarters. The weight of 5.07g indicates it could be a nickel planchet that was used to stamp this coin. The reed is intact, just kind of indented and Oreo cookie-like. Thoughts? Thanks y'all! -TC     |

Low weight and that oreo look to the rim means @igw is correct. Sorry not an error and just worth face value.

Nickel planchets are not Copper core CuNi clad planchets.
This is an acid dipped quarter on a quarter planchet.

To follow up on Dearborn's comment.
The nickel has been a 5g alloy of 75% Copper 25% nickel since the coin was introduced in 1866 (except for the war years).
Alloy not clad.

Agree--post-strike damage of an acidic nature. Nice example. Keep it as a fun curiosity.

Yep, subjected to a harsh corrosive environment, like acid. I like your comparison to an Oreo cookie. It describes the effect on the rim from acid very well and it reminds me of having Oreos with my coffee each morning. Gotta love Mocha and better than pastries.    Words of encouragement are one of the major food groups.
We need to consume them regularly to thrive and grow.
