Be cool if it's an error coin but I won't hold my breath.

There are all sorts of methods that can be used to to turn clads into copper color. Youtube has a lot of tutorials on the subject.

If a Copper Clad coin is put through Electrolysis it will also turn the coin Orange.

Thank you E-Trac... I've yet to try electrolysis...

Pretty sure it was tumbled with pennies I have turned quite a few dimes pink or copperish by accidentally tumbling them with pennies.

Can you get an accurate weight on the quarter?
