Wild Bill Pillar of the Community United States 744 Posts	Posted 01/17/2011 12:31 am I pulled this coin from a roll from the bank several years ago. this was the only non-plated coin in the roll. I also went back to the bank and bought the rest of the rolls they had and still this was the only one. I was told by 1 dealer that water or moisture did it, but I dont know. The images attached are at 35X.......any ideas? Report this Post to the Staff

pyrbob Rest in Peace United States 1943 Posts	Posted 01/17/2011 4:12 pm I thought the Presidential dollars were a clad coin and not a plated coin. Report this Post to the Staff
Americanamafia Pillar of the Community United States 672 Posts	Posted 01/17/2011 4:18 pm I have a few that look like that... carry an MS on in your hand for awile and sweat on it... it'll come out looking like that... I also believe they are clad...not plated. Report this Post to the Staff
biokemist6 Bedrock of the Community United States 12437 Posts	Posted 01/17/2011 4:37 pm The golden dollar planchets are indeed clad and not plated. A coin missing both outer clad layers would be noticeably light and it would not have the same level of detail as a normal coin because of the thinness of the planchet. The John Adams dollar has sustained environmental damage. Report this Post to the Staff
coppertop5150 Pillar of the Community United States 958 Posts	Posted 01/17/2011 7:02 pm looks like it spent sometime in a wishing well most decorative pools and water fountians use alot of chemicals that cuase coins to oxadize As a teenager cleaning pools one summer I had to remove 100's of dollars in change from a concrete landscaping pond. Under water you sweep the coins into piles withe a strong broom and scoop um out. the damage is very corrosive to copper coins and not quite as bad to nickle clad. i suspect the dollar coins are very high in copper and corrode eazy Report this Post to the Staff
