State quarter on an experimental planchette 1 1

[Stephaniec418]

If I happen to have one of the 1999 state quarter that was struck on a golden planchette where on earth would I take it to get it certified I live near Tacoma Wa I will probably just keep it with the rest of my worthless coins, just asking in case it’s worth anything

It’s not in very good condition

   This is very likely just a normal Georgia state quarter that was plated with a gold-colored material by a private company for sale as a souvenir. I remember seeing them advertised years ago. If you weigh it on a digital scale that measures to the nearest hundredth of a gram, the weight shouldn't be much greater than the normal weight for a clad quarter of 5.67 grams. 

   If you persist in believing that it was struck on some sort of off-metal planchet and want to send it to NGC, go to the NGC home page (www.ngccoin.com), go to the menu under the "Submit" tab and review the topics "How to Submit", "Coins We Grade & Policies", and "Services & Fees". You will see that this will be a fairly expensive proposition.

It's almost surely not gold. If you want more opinions, you could always get in touch with the Tacoma-Lakewood Coin Club. They are a member club of the PNNA, as is mine (Willamette, in Portland), and would surely be able to help you with any numismatic advice you might need.

The pictures are quite fuzzy and the New Mexico quarter is on a terrible angle to use as a comparison to a "normal" quarter. I think much better, clearer, and cropped photos are needed to give you an assessment of your coin in question.

I don’t see any gold on either coins although the picture is fuzzy and out of   focus … I highly doubt it’s solid gold more like gold plated ? Only way to know for sure is weight on a scale should weight out 5.670g if it is around that ball park ? Then it not solid gold which would weight heavier

It looks heavily circulated but perfectly normal to me from what I can see in the picture.  Better pictures are definitely in order.

Sans better pictures, it would not be made of gold and if it did have a "gold" color it would be a mint error for missing the copper-nickel clad layer which would expose the copper underneath explaining the "gold" color. An example of this is shown in the picture below which is currently being sold on eBay. Coins of this type of error can sell for anywhere between $150-$600.

My coin weighs 5.9 grams but it surly isn’t as gold as the one above! I thank you guys for the advice again and I will try and post a better picture soon it’s late tonight and I’ve had a long day. 😅 I forget who told me but I think its an experimental coin because there really isn’t any ridges on the edge just a few light ones.

It’s definitely not as gold as the Sacagawea coins either just saying 😃

It may just be a toned coin from something environmental it happens a lot.

RE: "State quarter on an experimental planchette."

...and how did you determine this? Who did you consult for this definitive pronouncement?
