coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 03/04/2021 2:09 pm When you look at the copper layer on the edge of the coin, if it was missing a clad, it would be that color, not the lighter color you are seeing on the coin. So your coin is normal. Just an alteration of the color on the outside of the side you are looking at. The difference in color would be this strong: Report this Post to the Staff

Spence Moderator United States 34518 Posts	Posted 03/04/2021 8:42 pm @iam, for sure this one is environmental toning on that one side. I agree that it is kinda pretty though. For the future, you can also weigh the coin. If it is within normal mint specs, then it isn't missing a clad layer.
