silver quarter

[goldinmypan]

Spyed somethiing shinny in the tellers drawer at the bank today. It turned out to be a 2000-P New Hampshire quarter. Is this 90% silver? Low Mintage?
It is definitely curculated but not to bad.

This coin has good reeding with only few scratches but no trace of copper even under 30X loupe. Weight = 5.7 grams, about same as regualr clad quarter. Is it common for the copper not to show thur on the edge?

I would guess silver plated from HSN (Home Shopping Network) or somewhere.

Good eyes!

 

[goldinmypan]

wouldn't silver plating add more weight to the coin?

Any chance of a picture

Here's a picture. I know its not silver (to light only 5.7 gm) but no sign of copper. Platted or, I hope not, HG. Any other possibles?

I keep doing that.

Hey Gold,

If the edge is completely silver, and the mintmark isn't an "S", then you either have a plated coin, or some kind of a mint error. Probably shouldn't say error, more like a strange planchet. I would have to guess plated though, it wouldn't add very much at all to the wieght of the coin. I would bring it in to a coin shop and see what they have to say about it. Let us know what you find out!
