halfamind Pillar of the Community United States 1534 Posts	Posted 02/27/2022 12:38 pm Can't be a plating issue, as it is a clad layer, not plated (unlike post-1982 cents). Soak in pure acetone to see if anything comes off? — or is it toned? Report this Post to the Staff

ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19556 Posts	Posted 02/27/2022 1:24 pm Agree with JimmyD. I've seen this 'feature' on other coins over the years. Report this Post to the Staff
Spence Moderator United States 34543 Posts	Posted 02/27/2022 1:27 pm @amb, a good way to check for a missing clad layer is to measure the weight. If it is normal then it must be something else like surface staining. Coins with a missing clad layer are all significantly below mint specs.

Earle42 Bedrock of the Community United States 10065 Posts	Posted 02/27/2022 2:00 pm Pics make me think of environmental staining. Coins like this can be found inside the bottom of car cupholders.
