Cash Register Silver + Mystery Coin!! HELP!

[MDnoob]

I was at work and went on break.? I knew we had a bunch of quarter paper rolls that we had just gotten from the bank, as opposed to the see thru plastic ones... paper indicates that they were wrapped by an individual and are more likely to contain silver.?

Anyway, the third one I opened contained all four of the coins pictured.? This was the first time I have ever found a silver quarter in all my years of retail!!! Three of them are obviously silver, but the fourth...is a mystery to me.? It is a 2000 P Maryland state quarter.? The only problem is, the edge is a solid silver color which normally indicates a silver or silver clad coin!!!!! I know that some silver proofs are released but supposedly only from the San Fransisco Mint.? Either that or some sort of die error.? Weird.? Anyone have any ideas

What is the MINT MARK ? I see only one way it can be silver. If some kid Got into someones Proof set. All "S" mint coins , to my knowledge are being minted in Silver, for Proof sets, these days.

Jeff of Pa. It was a Philly, that is the crux of the mystery.

Is a 1977S nickel one of the rares?

The silver quarter had to have been taken from a collector, from 1999-2005 silver proof sets are sold by the mint, the 2005 will come out in a couple months. I am a collector and order directly from the mint. I have more luck ordering than I do searching lately
