[Coinstar magnet]

I was doing alittle coin mining tonight and came across this 2016 Shawnee, Illinois state quarter that appeared to be all copper....maybe it's just worn? Here's a couple pics. Thanks for viewing!

Be cool if it's an error coin but I won't hold my breath.

There are all sorts of methods that can be used to to turn clads into copper color. Youtube has a lot of tutorials on the subject.

That would make sense... didn't know that was possible...

If a Copper Clad coin is put through Electrolysis it will also turn the coin Orange.

Pretty sure it was tumbled with pennies I have turned quite a few dimes pink or copperish by accidentally tumbling them with pennies.

Can you get an accurate weight on the quarter?
