Jaobler Pillar of the Community United States 6399 Posts	Posted 06/25/2009 12:12 pm Hello Drwhy, and welcome to the forum! I agree, environmental damage, possibly a metal-detecting find. Some error quarters do exist in which one or possibly both of the copper-nickel clad layers were missing from the original planchet. The resulting struck coins will show a brownish copper surface instead of the normal silvery color. A coin missing a clad layer will be lighter than normal by at least 1 gram. If your coin is close to the standard weight for a clad quarter (5.67 grams) you can be very sure it's nothing special. Report this Post to the Staff
