Any of the community folks have any information or could point me in the correct direction? Tried my best to get pictures with minimal skin or other surroundings reflecting, as seen (esp) on rim photo. Here's what I know. 2008Alaska Quarter Clear P mint mark No copper on rim 5.77g in weight Same size in both edge height as well as diameter/ circumference as our well known US Washington quarters Pretty Report this Post to the Staff

Halo1st Pillar of the Community United States 2775 Posts	Posted 06/09/2025 12:43 pm Could be plated, but not sure. What intrigues me more is the misaligned strike showing in opposite directions. Might double check the edge for anything unusual. Thanks, Doug. Report this Post to the Staff
