Coin collector from Washington state

#1 Unread post by gizmo71171 »

Been coin roll hunting for a few years. Found a 1984 quarter that looks like it is missing clad layers. It only weighs 5.3g. Not sure if it's worth anything, but it is thinner then a normal quarter. Not sure of next step. How do I get it authenticated. Thanks for any help

Likely it spent time in some nitric acid (I used to do this with my students in Chemistry class), but pics will help us give an opinion.
