She brought his home last night, looks to be an unclad quarter error? Weight is 5.51g Struggling to get good pics that fit size limit. Looks to be no clad either side Report this Post to the Staff

Killerchickens95 New Member United States 3 Posts	Posted 04/07/2025 2:08 pm These pics do no justice! There is some kind of bubble on Washington's head as well, no separation of layers evident. Rather large bubble. I thought the same, environmental, bit looking under 10× or higher, there is no evidence of the clad on either side. Nice rim, doesn't look to be acid dipped imo Report this Post to the Staff
Killerchickens95 New Member United States 3 Posts	Posted 04/07/2025 2:20 pm I appreciate each and every one of your responses! I am aware this would be a unicorn! Lol... it just looks so good in hand. The bubble on his head really had me second guessing myself, right, kinda bunks the no clad immediately, but man... Report this Post to the Staff
Tacc Pillar of the Community United States 3535 Posts	Posted 04/07/2025 3:23 pm As E&V stated above, the weight would be much less if it were missing both clad layers, so must agree with just environmentally damaged. Compare the thickness of your coin to a standard quarter. Report this Post to the Staff
