2014 D Quarter "Great Sand Dunes" Missing Clad On Reverse?

If the clad layer was missing, it would show either a bright or toned copper color. I would also expect the strike to be soft because of the missing mass of the planchet. Here's an example of an older Washington quarter that was missing the obverse cladding. It was 1 gram under weight when it was struck.

Nice deep die clash!

Here's a Photoshop overlay of the Memorial Cent. It shows where you would expect to see clash marks if the dies were aligned when the clash occurred.

Of the 100 or so clipped coins I have had over the years, none of them had reeding in the clipped area. The reeding is added to the coin by the collar as the metal flows to the outside of the coin during the strike. The interior curve of the clip doesn't make contact with the collar, so it can't have reeds.

I'm thinking it could be struck through instead of a lamination. Most laminations I've seen have a much sharper, rougher surface left behind.

Just my opinion, I could be wrong... again.

Yep, Americans were always "scammers" when it came to making money with coins. From gold plating the "cent-less" V nickel to sticking washers into quarter rolls -

Why stick in a washer or two when you can go for the kill? All you have to do is find a few 10¢ sockets for sale at your local flea market or garage sale.

It looks to have been cut down to the size of a dime for use in an old vending machine. These were used in the 60's as dimes to get a 'discount' on the price of a Coca-Cola.

Coop always referred to these as 'Soda Pop Money.' If you do a search for Soda Pop Money you can find other examples of these cut down cent coins.

Very nice! It's always nice to see BOTH halves of a split planchet. I haven't seen one 'in hand' but I see a few (very few) on Heritage and other auction sites.

GREAT find!

Here's a Photoshop Clash Overlay that show about where you would expect to see clash marks on the original Jefferson design. A clash may occur with the dies misaligned, so the clash marks vary.

I love it! I have a bunch of the webbing clips around here somewhere, but this is just too fantastic! I've never seen one like this!

Just think, somewhere there is a bowtie strike with the details that are missing on your coin! I wonder if a bowtie strike with just the center of the Shield reverse made it out of the mint as well. If this was an 'assisted' error, I bet there is!

THANKS for sharing it with us.

1983 P Lincoln Cent- Skinny "Y" On Liberty

Now that's a LOT of die polishing!

About 12 years ago I bought an overweight mint sewn bag of 1974-D cents (5600+ coins, about 12% too many) that 95% of coins in the bag are clashed and over polished. Some show clash marks on both sides while others show clashed features on only the obverse or reverse. Some are missing details of the necks, ties, vest or forehead. It's really obvious that they tried to rework the dies. They also show signs of new dies being used on one side or the other. The coins also show die rotation of 8° to 15°.

Here's one that was sent to ANACS and graded MS-66 Red with the note 'OVERPOLISHED DIES.' All of the coins with very few exceptions, are the same grade or possibly higher, some with even more polishing marks. Another interesting thing I found that a very few coins show dark blue/purple fingerprints toned into the surfaces.

I agree - just as I stated in my post above..

Umm, yeah! I was just agreeing with YOU! Yeah, that's it!

I have no idea of how I missed your reply, but it's one of those 'Great Minds' situations. In this case one of the minds is just a little damaged and didn't read all of the replies thoroughly.

I even took the time to do an overlay to see how far out of alignment the dies would have to be to even get near leaving a clash like this. It would be way, way out.

I really should have just agreed with you.

I hope you can forgive my oversight, and I didn't step on your toes too hard!
