icoinz Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 2012 p Washington Quarter, Pocket change . I thought this quarter was a silver coin, since no visible copper on the edge, but 5.7 grams and magnetic. I will appreciate any information on this coin.

Conder101 Posted May 11, 2019 Share Posted May 11, 2019 Nickel plated. The plating hides the copper edge, and the pure nickel plating is magnetic. icoinz 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
icoinz Posted May 17, 2019 Author Share Posted May 17, 2019 Conder 101, you're right, I brushed the edge of both coins, with sandpaper, and bang! copper. Thank you, I just learn about magnetic nickel alloys, you're a Pro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
