Too bad this coin is in such poor condition :(

The profile of the coin is solid copper so I think the clad portion started out extremely thin. Also the reverse almost looks like it never had been fully clad versus laminating over time? Sorry about not getting 100% of the coin in the picture. Let me know if it has value above going into a flip for looking cool!

Aww man!! So what is the difference? A lamination has to occur right when the coin is struck and then is or isn't retained?

A lamination is a peeling away of the solid planchets. This occurs on silver,copper and copper-nickel coins. I've not seen a quarter that is sandwiched suffer from lamination. On the composition coins they maybe partially missing or whole coin missing the silver outside part.

The cladding is either missing or peeled off after the strike. Unlike laminations that may happen before/during/after the strike.


The OP's coin looks like it was suffering from acid placed on the surface.
