odd looking quarter

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.

Not really abscence of copper just the mixing not being as thorough. I'll do a bit more research tomorrow.

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.
