Error 1977 Washington Quarter, 1943 Lincoln Wheat Steel Cent?

alright, well, I should have another post coming tomorrow but I first wanted to ask:

A: IF my quarter happens to be missing clad layers, what would it be worth?
B: Is is possible its on a penny planchet? (i doubt this one)
C: What kind of side pic do you want? (the last pic has one)

I'll try to get that weight, Metalman. It IS lighter, but I cant tell how much. One pic shows that its SLIGHTLY smaller than a normal quarter.
Q: Isn't there like a press where the metals are pressed together, and when the ends dont come out to the same length, the excess is cut off? Is it possible this is a quarter from that excess metal? Or am I completely wrong here? :p

Okay, pics:

FYI, here is the obverse image of the missing-clad-layer quarter I posted previously in this section. This example was authenticated and slabbed by NGC. The copper surface is smooth with no pits or porosity. The diameter matches a regular quarter. As I recall, the weight of the coin was about 4.5 grams, compared to the standard weight for a clad quarter which is 5.67 grams.
Regarding Tempest's question, I think the clad layers start out as thick metal strips which are bonded together by rolling under great pressure. The rolling process is continued until the bonded strip reached the right thickness. Then they punch out coin blanks which proceed to the coining stage. If the original strips don't roll out to identical lengths, you have the possiblity of getting missing-layer blanks. If they're not detected, they'll get stamped along with all the normal blanks and may find their way into circulation. That's how I got mine!

okay, I can send it in to ANACS huh? where do I send it to, and in what? I'm not so sure, I definitely dont want this to 'get lost' in the mail.

also: is it odd that both sides of my coin are that color? AND I noticed there was no mint mark. arent quarters from Philly supposed to have a 'P'?

One thing to say: VERY CONFUSING.

and not only that, but they dont say how much it is.
$12 shipping + $10 to verify... how much to grade?
oh well, i'll try asking some other people what they think, and if there's an easier way.

well, as long as I can get insurance on that puppy, i'll be fine.
one last thing: it says to include the value of the coin. but I dont know how much it is. should I put face value, or what?

I would take it to a dealer before you spend good money for it to come home in a body bag. it still looks just like the coins that we put in acid in school granted that was a very long time ago but if you look in the center of your quarter you will see a very small trace of the nickel layer which tell me that it was set in acid. but it is your coin you do what you want I just hate to see you through away anywhere from 35-45 dollars for them to tell you the same thing.
JMHO
Gary too

thanks, I might try ICG.
Wardaddy- its missing both sides, and it is thinner than a dime. I suspect both layers came off, just leaving a little nickel behind. I finally found one exactly like mine on ebay, except it was a bicentennial.
PS: you've only heard of single layers missing, but you have one that has both missing?
