    Info on the experimental planchet:

    http://www.error-ref.com/sate_quarters_on_an_experimental_alloy/

    Weighs somewhere between 5.9 and 6.3 grams — which is more than the 5.67 grams for a typical copper-nickel clad quarter

    Appears thicker than normal
    Has a golden or greenish color, similar to Sacagawea dollars

    Lacks the copper (orange-colored) stripe on the edge of the coin

    Lacks some or all of the edge reeding

    Has a thicker rim than normal

    Everything is whats described except it still has the orange colored stripe on the edge. Slightly thicker than a regular quarter but not alot thicker but noticeable.

    "Thicker" can just mean a stronger strike and higher rims.

    It has the copper layer so that seals was it is or isn't.
