How does that happen ? It's thought to be caused by the same thing most people think causes Woodys (especially in copper cents) - improper metal in coins, impurities, in some cases disproportionate metals and/or insufficient mixing. Some coins are not affected and some are only partially affected depending on which part of the mix they received. Edited by CoinMasters

There is another theory that I think is fairly plausible for some of the clad Woodys but not the lams. Some of them have pretty even lines and discoloration. They could be caused by improper heat and roller marks. They too can affect all or part of a coin, and are certainly only on the surface. Every thing said by anyone in reference to the cause of Lams and Woodys is theoretical. What I happen to believe is my opinion based on what I believe to be most logical. That being said I believe both theories as stated in this thread. Edited by CoinMasters

But a clad coin couldnt be all the way through like the one that you have . It would have to be each side individually right ?

The nickel and cent are not clad coins. They are silver/copper/manganese (5 cents) mix or just copper/tin/zinc (1 cent).

Coop I may be using the term clad wrong and I apologize . Are the post 82 pennies considered clad coins ? ( copper clad zinc )

Pre 82 cents are a copper alloy mix, not clad. Midway through 1982 they changed to copper-plated zinc coins. Clad and plated are both an outer layer. It's my understanding the difference is the way it's applied. An alloy is mixed as opposed to applied.
