Returned my coins today, when I asked if they had quarters she asked how many bags I wanted. Told her I could only do 1 due to financial constraints. Brought it home annnnnnnnnnnd skunked. Absolutely nothing. None of my missing ones from the folders, no S, nothing. So, figured what the hey, and went back in for the other bag. Glad I did. Got 3 of my missing ones (only need 2 more to be up-to-date), and these:

Saw the rim and was hoping for a proof, but its a P... Looks like it was dipped or sprayed?

Googled it and found this, so kinda neat... http://www.trumbullrecreation.com/page/page/5874892.htm

Then got this, love the coincidence since I just got the other from work:

For many years now 3rd party companies have been plating clad in silver, platinum and sometimes even gold in order to extract money from "collectors." Thats probably what you have here.

Plated coins, while noticeable, aren't that rare in the CRH world and certainly shouldn't contain any extra value.
