Hello all!! I discovered this quarter when it kept falling through a vending machine at work. It appears to be an error quarter, but since I am no expert, I came here. Has anyone seen this before on a 2002 Mississippi State Quarter? Your help/opinions are appreciated.    |

to the CCF, Jody Winn! I agree with John - your coin has been on an acid trip. The copper core of the cladding has been eaten away more than the outer layers, which gives it that sandwich cookie appearance. Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures

To CCF! Just acid damage. PMD. Not an error coin. Worth 25 cents. Errers and Varietys.

to the CCF and acid. Just a word of advice. I know you needed to hold the coin for a picture. Never use metal on a coin. If it was worth anything, you have a chance of scratching it. |

Agree with Cujohn--suggest not holding coins with metal tweezers, or any other metal tool.
