Extra Shiny Mirror Like Quarter 2000 D Virgina

#1 Unread post by LFH14 »

I have begun a coin collection and found this extra shiny quarter today. I looked on PCGS for the 2000 d quarters and none appeared to be this shiny. I placed a regular quarter next to it. Thanks for any insight on this coin.

Looks plated to me and my non-professional opinion.

As has been suggested: plated or polished. Hard to tell with the pics and lighting. No added value. Considered a damaged coin by collectors.

What is coin plating ? Plating is a manufacturing process by which a layer of metal is added onto another item. For example, jewelry is often plated in gold or silver as opposed to being made completely out of those precious metals.

If the middle coin is the one you're talking about it's platted. If it wasn't platted then you would see the copper on the rim, just like the other two.
