Corina Posted December 23, 2015 Report Share Posted December 23, 2015 well found this 2007d Idaho Statehood quarter but one thing there is no copper on the rim, I compared it to others and it weighs the same as a usual quarter maybe coated with something? cause there is no trace of any of the copper any help would be nice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Art1.2 Posted December 23, 2015 Report Share Posted December 23, 2015 Hi Colin, I've seen this a number of times and read some explanations for it but frankly I don't remember the sources right now. It's just a mix of alloy in creating the blanks as I recall. It could be struck on the wrong blank but you'd need someone far more experienced than me to get into that. Good luck with it.

Corina Posted December 23, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 23, 2015 alloy issue? so basically somehow the copper was not included when the blanks were made so it would be considered a error right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Art1.2 Posted December 24, 2015 Report Share Posted December 24, 2015 Not really abscence of copper just the mixing not being as thorough. I'll do a bit more research tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Art1.2 Posted December 25, 2015 Report Share Posted December 25, 2015 Haven't been able to find the info I remember reading. Ccg probably knows about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccg Posted December 27, 2015 Report Share Posted December 27, 2015 Easiest and probably best thing to do would be to do an XRF scan on it. Lots of quarters are plated - I've seen all types (mostly from TV/newspaper ads) - gold plating, silver plating, and even some oddball ones like platinum plating. Most likely it's been plated and someone broke it free from a set and spent it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corina Posted December 29, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 29, 2015 well looked the quarter over for anything besides the missing copper issue and I found this partly filled E Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thedeadpoint Posted December 31, 2015 Report Share Posted December 31, 2015 Have you weighed it? Simplest thing to do to verify if it is good or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
