Question
I have a quarter which is copper colored on both sides I was wondering what you could tell me about this sort of error and if it is worth anything?
Nacho,
This error is caused when the long metal sheet that the coin blanks get cut out of does not get completely coated with its outer silvery-looking layer. This could happen on either one side of the coin or both. So a coin blank gets cut out of a section of the strip that is unfinished, gets struck like normal and goes out with all the rest of the quarters.
These sell for $200 to $400 but need to be certified first. Info about certification can be found at the following websites :

Good luck,
Dan

Expertise
My strong familiarity with all U.S. Mint coins, extensive reference library, and close relationships with many other dealers allows me to identify just about any coin made in the USA. I receive regular updates to all the current price guides -- both wholesale & retail -- to provide accurate values. So, with a good description or pictures, I should be able to identify and value any U.S. coin you have.
