allcoinsaregood Pillar of the Community United States 808 Posts	Posted 02/13/2025 3:16 pm Found this 1999 Georgia Quarter missing it's Nickel Clad on the Obverse and Reverse of the Coin. I took a picture of the rim (used nail clippers to stand up rim) to show Copper reedling of the missing clad. First time I found a quarter missing a clad. Coin weighs 5.7 grams. Look at the pics and let me know your thoughts and regards! Report this Post to the Staff

Your coin is just showing environmental damage. https://www.pcgs.com/news/missing-c...rmal%20coin. Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff

allcoinsaregood Pillar of the Community United States 808 Posts	Posted 02/13/2025 3:53 pm Thanks for the replies but what about the rim? I can understand if the rim looked like the surface of the coin but it does not. If it was subjected to the same environmental conditions as the surface of the coin would not the rim look the same?

jbuck Moderator United States 190135 Posts	Posted 02/13/2025 4:45 pm Think of it as extreme toning caused by environmental exposure. Dirt? Fire? Regardless, it was nothing done at the Mint.

Dearborn Moderator United States 98870 Posts	Posted 02/13/2025 5:31 pm just environmental toning here. the only reason we see the copper/nickel cladding on the edge of a clad coin is because the cladding and copper core are fused together before they are punched into blanks. as the blanking machine cuts into the flattened roll of material, the cladding is pulled down the sides part way. sometimes it is just a tiny bit like we see on your coin, other times it is longer.
