I'm no expert on clad coins but that for me does not look like a missing clad layer just a worn and beat up 1995P dime worth well a dime! Sorry  |

What do you think? I think that it is underweight in a way that cannot be explained by the circulation wear. I'm on team missing clad on this one, but am interested to see what others think. "If you climb a good tree, you get a push."

 I don't know but from the last and second to last photos, looks like a railroad coin to me. Does the clad layers (which I see are on the obverse and reverse [from those photos]) protrude beyond the copper core? Edited by Greasy Fingers

Weakness is consistent with being a missing clad, as is the weight. Put me in the authentic camp! Very cool pickup!

Looks right for a missing clad layer. As for the collar, that part seems unlikely to me. A collar issue would create a full ring of missing reeds around the coin (either on the full height of the rim in the case that it was struck without a collar or a fraction of the height for a partial collar). Don't think any collar issue would create one reeded hemisphere and one unreeded hemisphere.

I agree that it's authentic missing clad. Consistent with examples I've seen in the past, however I can't be 100% sure.

Maybe take a diameter, as it would appear to have been struck partially out of the collar, which would also explain the partial reeding as it wasn't in contact with the collar at that point.

The weight and appearance seem correct for a legitimate missing clad error. I'm not sure about the collar issue.  In Memory of Crazyb0 12-26-1951 to 7-27-2020

Hi one and all!! I have been lurking and learning about broadstrikes. If you look in the error-ref one of the main keys is missing reeding and all the design elements are intact, none are missing. Here is a link http://www.error-ref.com/?s=broadstrikeWhat do you all think? I am pretty excited if I can apply some of what I have been learning. The broadstrike also answers the question about the partial collar issue. |

Note there is a full strike on the devices, but the edge in question may have been weak before the strike, thus a weaker rim on that are. So I also feel it is missing the clad on the obverse.
