coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 06/22/2019 2:09 pm Looks like a missing clad reverse to me. The mark on the head could be a struck through or a flat die chip. (I've not seen a flat die chip, so I'm leaning more towards a struck through. But the weakness of the strike makes me feel it is a missing clad on the reverse. (and color) The color, should match the edge color. Is the edge thinner near the motto area? Edited by coop 06/22/2019 2:10 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Pete2226 Pillar of the Community United States 3339 Posts	Posted 06/22/2019 2:38 pm Thanks Coop I have no doubts that it is missing clad. Expected weight missing clad = Dime weight missing one clad layer = 1.863 g +/- 0.091 g; missing two clad layers = 1.453 g +/- .161 g The coin weighs 1.88g, as I mentioned, which is well within tolerance for missing one clad layer. Expected thickness of clad layer: Dime clad layer (75% +/- 2.5% Cu and 25% +/- 2.5% Ni) = 180.34 µm (+/-25.4 µm) Thicknesses: @ motto = 1.03mm @ struck through = 1.05mm @ date = 1.08mm @ R in LIBERTY = 1.03 I am also thinking that the feature on the reverse may be a slightly misaligned die clash and would appreciate any comments about that. Here is an edge photo Edited by Pete2226 06/22/2019 2:40 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 75806 Posts	Posted 06/22/2019 6:55 pm On his head, that's definitely a forming Die Chip. I can see the Die Crack. Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff
Pete2226 Pillar of the Community United States 3339 Posts	Posted 06/23/2019 08:54 am fioti - thanks for the overlay. That site is my first step when I suspect a clash. That overlay is why I am thinking this is a clash - just slightly misaligned. I was hoping someone who sees my question could confirm my attribution. I was surprised that the clash showed on the copper core, but never had I given any thought to that possibility. Report this Post to the Staff
