tricky rick New Member United States 25 Posts	Posted 11/09/2025 10:48 pm It weighs between 5.7 and 5.8 Report this Post to the Staff
HondoB Bedrock of the Community United States 24894 Posts	Posted 11/09/2025 11:07 pm A silver 2002 quarter would weigh 6.35 g, while a clad 2002 quarter would weigh 5.67 g. This indicates that your quarter is plated. Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures Report this Post to the Staff

Dearborn Moderator United States 94705 Posts	Posted 11/10/2025 07:33 am Yes, my first thought would be plated. Initially, when these quarters were released, some were plated to boost the desirability of these. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember. Involve me and I learn." - Benjamin Franklin 7070 type set coin count: 51/76 Uncirculated American Silver Eagles My American Silver Eagle Proof Collection Sacagawea Dollars Innovation Dollars Eisenhower-Dollars Kennedy-Half Dollars Washington-Quarters Roosevelt-Dimes Buffalo-Nickels 1938-2005 Jefferson-Nickels Lincoln-Cents Report this Post to the Staff
JimmyD Bedrock of the Community Canada 21584 Posts	Posted 11/10/2025 08:31 am That whole series was plated aftermarket in silver and some in gold and sold as souvenirs. I have seen on ebay cards with numerous states plated in silver. Plating adds. no numismatic value to the quarter. Edited by JimmyD 11/10/2025 08:35 am Report this Post to the Staff

Keith67 Pillar of the Community United States 6504 Posts	Posted 11/10/2025 10:20 am I called it * Staff Note: Locked topic removed. Here is the quote. * Quote: My guess would be silver plated. It's was/is a thing that "companies" do, to get people's money. They still do I'm sure. Quote: I dont think they made silver proof sets of this year. They did, coin would have an S mintmark on it Report this Post to the Staff
