What you have is most likely a lamination error. A clad quarter with that error might retail for around $10.

To clear things up, coins are struck or minted; paper money is printed. Also the outer layer is claddingrather than plating because it's cold-bonded to the copper core rather than added through and electrical or chemical bath. Finally the outer later is cupronickel (75% copper/25% nickel) rather than nickel.

Lamination errors occur because the end of a roll of coin stock may not be fully clad on one or both sides. If it's not caught when blanks are punched out of the stock, they may be missing one or both cupronickel layers.

I have a state coin that is silver on 1 side and copper on the other is this a misprinted coin.?

They are not misprinted, but they are missing the clad plating on one side. Good news for you! These are pretty popular on Ebay right now selling in the $200-$300 dollar range. You have to have the coin certified first and you can do that at http://www.pcgs.com. Good luck!!

The 1999 quarter, part of the 50 State Quarters program, is composed of a cupronickel (75% copper and 25% nickel) clad over a pure copper core. This composition is the same as standard quarters minted since 1965. The 1999 quarters feature designs representing states, with the first five states released being Delaware, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Georgia, and Connecticut.

How much is a quarter with a penny stamped on the back worth?

If the "penny side" is copper-colored, then it is probably a magician's coin manufactured from a quarter and a cent, in which case it has no collector's value. On the other hand, if it has a cent reverse where the quarter reverse should be, it may be a legitimate error coin. This determination and evaluation should be made by a reputable dealer in error coins.


What is the solubility of copper iodide in water and how does it compare to other copper compounds?

How much is a 1999 Connecticut state copper quarter worth?

It depends on what you mean by copper. If the coin weighs as much as and is as thick as a normal quarter, what you have is probably a plated coin from a high-school chemistry experiment (I know, I used to do that!). In this case it is considered to be an altered coin worth face value only. On the other hand, if it's thinner than a normal quarter you could have what's called a lamination error. That happens when the outer cupronickel cladding comes apart from the pure copper core. You'd have to take it to a dealer who handles error coins to have it evaluated, but it could be worth $15 or so. A lamination error may not be noticably lighter or thinner than a normal quarter. Let an experienced dealer look at it.

What is the value of a 2009 silver US quarter?

If the quarter has an "S" next to the tail of Washington's wig and does not have the normal copper edge of a quarter found in pocket change, it's almost certainly a so-called "Prestige" quarter that someone accidentally spent. These coins were only sold to collectors and weren't intended for spending It was worth about $8 in its original packaging but if you got it in change as of 02/2011 it's worth about $5 to $6 for its metal content. If your coin has a P or D next to Washington's wig, or has an S but shows a copper edge, it's not silver. It's made of copper-nickel like almost all other quarters minted since 1965. With a P or D it has no added value. An S indicates it was a proof coin that someone spent. That which reduces its original $1.15 collector value to, well, roughly a quarter.


Cause of pinholes to quarter inch holes in copper pipe all 16 leaks in 16 hot and cold pipes are at the plate where the pipe enters the apartment from the crawlspace vertically?

Electrolysis created from two dissimilar metals touching each other. This creates corrosion and breakdown of the properties of the copper pipe. Replace the copper and place some type of sleeving around the pipe when reinstalling.
