Hi
I just found a damaged or a piece that's using a different metal than the regular 2010 coin. The Copper appears from some letters and on the face and the nickel is grayed as an old silver piece. ( I'm pretty sure that there no silver in there)

adding a pic soon.
If someone could give me info if there any variety for the composition of the coin.

I find quarters like that often, they are just worn
There is copper because the steel blanks are plated with copper before it is plated by nickel.

am I the only one that see that there is an metal accumulation on the right shoulder of the Queen. The metal accumulation is there on every piece that I found so far.

Is there already an issue with the matrix ?
