1999 P all silver

The Home Shopping network or one of those channels (or, possibly more than one) sold gold and platinum plated state quarters, and probably silver plated, as well. You have one of those. If it were real silver, it would weigh more - around 6.25 grams.

It’s definitely lighter then the average quarter. Maybe a experimental platchet? I would think it would be heavier if it where plated but I don’t really know.

the clad would be 5.67 grams and silver proofs would be 6.25 grams so it isnt a silver proof, also does not look it anyway

How do I find out if it’s plated? 

A jeweler with an XRF gun will be able to tell you without damaging the coin. Most of the independent shops (e.g. not Zales) have them; it's a question of if they'll want to use it on a quarter. Otherwise, it's into destructive methods.

According to your pictures, it is the same diameter and thickness as a normal quarter. Since it is too light to be silver, what are you hoping that its composition is?
