Silver state quarter finish vs. U.S. Territory?
I was wondering if the silver state quarter finish was different than the U.S. territory quarters?? I have some of each and the Territory quarters look like more of a cameo, satin finish. The edges of the quarters are both silver color and the state quarters definitely are proof quality, but I want to be absolutely certain that they are not silver clad. The weight is the same but my scale doesn't do fractions of grams.

The only silver clad quarter is the 1976 Bicentennial.
Of the state and parks quarters, all silver coins will have the S mint mark, they are proofs, and they are 90% silver. For 2010 only, the parks quarters were also made with a satin finish, called 'specimen' coins, but only at Philadelphia and Denver. They contain no silver.
