check the weight, it should be 5.67 gr. or close to that. the picture looks plated. we get TeleMarketer sets all the time that we buy at face and dump into change. i think they are either chrome or Titanium plated.
You say "lighter" - do you mean weight or color?
It's been plated as a novelty item.
Not an error coin of any kind, I'm
sorry to say,.
When you get it weighed, at any
coin store or jewelry store, it will
weigh between 5.7 and 5.88 grams.
Please let us know.
People get bored and start doing crazy things to their coins.

Thanks for the input. On my way home. I have a good scale at home.
the television sellers were selling complete sets of 'gold' and 'platinum' (plated) state quarters ... when people started trying to sell them, they found out it easier to just spend them
Please don’t hold your coins like that. You could ruin a rare coin by putting your fingerprints on it.
What is the weight?
It does look like a plated coin... The weight will help.... Cheers, RickO
