states quarter error question

[low xtreme]

i've found 2 or 3 of the state quarters that have silver edges, but they're not proofs or silver. just regular p and d mints. is this an error? is it worth keeping? i haven't kept any of them but i will if its rare or worth anything. thanks.

You'd have to weigh it extremely accurately to determine if it's a true planchet solid error (impossible the way coins are minted now) or just the outer laminates smeared to appear like solid metal. The blanks are punched out of laminated sheets and solid sheets just don't exist in the process. Used to be mills would have sheets for other coins/countries with solid coinage and the errors could occur. Don't think that's possible with recent coinage.
