Found a 2001 S North Carolina Quarter, never knew of an "S" mint mark just P & D, Internet says Clad Proof or Silver proof, any info out there on this quarter? It's Clad

If it's silver it will weigh 6.25 grams.

Im going to take a guess that its from a proof set. Dont spend it. Nice find.

It's an S mint so it's from a proof set, it's just a matter of whether it's a clad proof or a silver proof. You should be able to tell easily by looking at the edge of the coin and/or giving it the "drop test".

My quarter proof sets came like this. I have a bunch of these Im going to sell on eBay.

Mine says silver proof set.

Yes good idea just show us the edge.

Here is the backside and the paper that came with it.

the "S" mint mark is for the San Francisco mint

Unless your dirt is particulary bad on silver, it appears to be copper-nickel. The drop test will tell you for sure. How unsual is it to find a proof? VERY. Without the "S", I would have been skeptical. Let the bell of freedom ring! If it sounds like the Liberty Bell, not silver.
