   @DocScranton it also feels slightly lighter than usual if that means anything

     @mushroom_soup @DocScranton ok that much silver, even at low purity, would cost MUCH more than 25 cents they'd never release a silver quarter nowadays people would melt them down for the metal.
     
     Also silver is pretty unsuitable for coins compared to modern metals, it tarnishes and wears away over time.

     @DocScranton that being said it does have a bronze color on the edge from wear so it's probably not silver

     All quarters minted in 2022 and later use the faggy right-facing Washington so it's a very new coin with minimal circulation. That's why it looks so shiny.
     Since 1965 all quarters have been pure copper clad in a copper-nickel alloy which is 25% nickel.
