Couldn't miss this quarter in my change today as it stood out as one I had not seen before. After some googling, I now have no idea what to do with it but probably need to get a digital scale to verify whether this is one of the experimental coins that slipped into circulation back in 1999.Does anyone have any knowledge of counterfeits of these? It seems to be more than just a quarter and if you google 1999 New Jersey quarter experimental alloy you will see what I mean.I had never heard of these and it seems to be a solid gold tone like the sacaweiga dollar coin, although my pics falsely give an impression of plating, it is actually light playing off some planchet flaws.Any thoughts on this one? Should I get it checked out or what?

Thanks Huntsman, I have read that the experimental planchet had a more detail in the hair of Washington and you can see that in the pics when compared to the 2017 quarter.....but I have got to weigh it first and that is on my list of things to do......note to self.There is even a scratch on the obverse that I just noticed and the color is consistent through and through.
