lvtwentytwo Valued Member United States 94 Posts	Posted 06/04/2025 3:56 pm I've never seen something like this before. It almost looks like someone dropped a copper weld on reverse side of the coin and then somehow smashed it in. Report this Post to the Staff

lvtwentytwo Valued Member United States 94 Posts	Posted 06/04/2025 10:02 pm I could separate the clad entirely if that would help in analyzing it. Report this Post to the Staff

Dearborn Moderator United States 96993 Posts	Posted 06/05/2025 10:14 am yes, remove the cladding that came loose. See if any copper from the core is on the cladding. Also get an accurate weight of the entire coin, then another measurement with the cladding removed and not on the scale. May be measure the weight of both pieces separately. This is a good study coin. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember.
