Biedercoins Pillar of the Community United States 1606 Posts	Posted 03/18/2018 09:33 am Clad coins get a dark, coppery tone when they've been on the ground for awhile. Was this in circulation or did you find it somewhere? Report this Post to the Staff
TJLang Valued Member 424 Posts	Posted 03/18/2018 12:14 pm found it coin roll hunting. It looks more like a penny then a quarter. and I have weather beaten black quarters to compair it to. Is it possible to acid wash the silver off a quarter and still have a clean looking quarter. That's a possibility. Edited by TJLang 03/18/2018 12:19 pm Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 03/18/2018 4:01 pm Take a look at the copper on the edge of the coin. If it is darker, Then you know you are not seeing copper color on the quarter. It should be red: Do you see the weakness of the strike because of the missing clad layer? This happens on missing cladding on coins: What happens when you compare a missing clad coin with a red colored coin? Note the coin on the right is normal, but that color because of being found outdoors. But note, there is no weakness on the rim area? That is because the coin was normal, but because of the missing cladding the coin on the left is a real missing clad coin? Report this Post to the Staff
TJLang Valued Member 424 Posts	Posted 03/18/2018 8:04 pm Now that's what I'm talking about. But I guess you have to see it in person. Maybe I will take it to the local coin shop and see what he says. Report this Post to the Staff
