To me that quarter looks like it spent some time in the ground or at least outside in the elements. Environmental Toning. I guess we'll have to wait on your new scale.

The OP quarter seems to have lots of green toning, similar to the green on a copper cent...

So, much to my surprise it comes in at exactly the right weight. It looks for all the world exactly like a dark brown copper penny. So I may do the thing I shouldn't do and clean it with a good copper cleaning solution, before it goes in the reject bucket.

Feel free to experiment on it! A good way to learn why cleaning coins is not encouraged.
