jimmythegreek New Member United States 11 Posts	Posted 05/21/2025 12:16 pm Did I find a real dual missing clad layer Washington quarter or am I dreaming? Report this Post to the Staff

Brandmeister Pillar of the Community United States 6448 Posts	Posted 05/21/2025 12:22 pm I hate to say it, but if that quarter were missing the cladding layers, it would weigh a lot less than 5.52g. Could be environmental staining, or possibly something like heat or a chemical pulled some pure copper to the surface. Report this Post to the Staff

Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 73559 Posts	Posted 05/21/2025 1:28 pm The weight is pretty much on point. Not a Missing Clad error. It would be much lighter if it was. Just environmental toning or something. https://www.pcgs.com/news/missing-c...-error-coins Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff
JimmyD Bedrock of the Community Canada 21580 Posts	Posted 05/21/2025 1:38 pm If it were missing the clad layer, it would be copper coloured and have a weaker strike. Yours is just some sort of environmental toning. Report this Post to the Staff

ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19107 Posts	Posted 05/21/2025 4:36 pm Agree with all above. Likely environmental staining. Report this Post to the Staff
bobby131313 Forum Dad United States 24147 Posts	Posted 05/21/2025 5:01 pm Just FYI, each side of the cladding weighs about 1 gram. Shop CCF Members on eBay. Report this Post to the Staff
lcutler Pillar of the Community United States 1655 Posts	Posted 05/21/2025 5:02 pm That is a classic example of a dug clad coin. I've metal detected and put back into circulation thousands of them. Report this Post to the Staff

Earle42 Bedrock of the Community United States 10029 Posts	Posted 05/21/2025 8:19 pm Likely, as has been said, some metal detectorist dug this one up out of the ground.

jimmythegreek New Member United States 11 Posts	Posted 05/21/2025 9:22 pm @lcutler Is there anything I should look for from being dug? I always thought it would be pitted. Appreciate anything you might add. Thanks J Report this Post to the Staff
lcutler Pillar of the Community United States 1655 Posts	Posted 05/22/2025 03:47 am Dug clad coins usually have sort of a matte texture and the tell-tale copper/reddish or brown color. The severity of the surface condition depends on how long they have been in the ground, and I suppose acidity of the soil. Edited by lcutler 05/22/2025 03:48 am Report this Post to the Staff
