A Connecticut quarter?
Yes, i think its from some kind of set- the date on it is 1999 and the edge is silver- (added third pic to original post)
It's plated as a novelty item.
It is a P mint coin, so not from a silver proof set.
Welcome to the forum!
A plated coin as mentioned.... sometimes you find gold plated ones too.
Well, that explains it! I always toss odd coins in a bowl and hang onto them, this was one!
It's still a novelty coin but still neat to view. Jmo
These are were made in sets that claimed they were platinum plated

Thank you! Nice little read there!
@Efnick ....Welcome aboard.... You have your answer above... That being said, when I come across one of these plated coins, I usually keep it as an educational piece. Cheers, RickO
Is that to be used as an educational piece when you go to the coin shops and shows where you live? LOL
We don't judge.
