ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19288 Posts	Posted 09/29/2021 4:59 pm Larger and sharp photos may tell a different story. But, from what I see, it's environmentally-caused staining. I've seen dimes pulled from fountains that look similar. Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 09/29/2021 6:34 pm If it were missing a cladding, it would be more red in color and no silver color would be visible on the surface of the coin. It is just a coating of outdoor residue. Also the strike would be weakened a bit: Peeled clad after strike: Report this Post to the Staff
Spence Moderator United States 34458 Posts	Posted 09/29/2021 7:41 pm @rosie, a great way to determine if a coin is missing a clad layer by weighing it. If it is within mint specs, then it isn't missing a layer.
