You need to be more specific, @Sassy . Otherwise, you're likely to get answers like, "Yes, it is a quarter!" Chris
Although some coins exhibit that color due to improper annealing this does not appear to be improperly annealed. Without better pics I see nothing else other than a quarter dollar coin. My unprofessional appraised value today, right now, is $0.25.
Chris, thanks for your patience! I'm really trying to learn and I do read alot of articles, but sometimes things just are not clear to me.
While some circulated coins missing a clad layer can turn a red/brown or red/gray color, I don't believe this is the case with yours. Have you weighed it to see how it compares with the normal weight of an SQ - 5.67gms? Just so you know, the photo below shows what an uncirculated coin missing a clad layer should look like. This 2001D Kennedy came out of a $100 Mixed P&D bag which the Mint didn't even release until 2004. Chris
Sassy.. I metal detect. I have detected for several years now. When I dig up coins in certain soil, sand, dirt etc.. the colors are changed. This is what is called Environmental Damage due to exposure to the elements. Your Quarter exhibits this quality.
