coinfox1 Valued Member United States 323 Posts	Posted 06/12/2013 09:57 am Hello. Is this just a worn dirty quarter or lamination error? The pics don't show it well but it has a reddish color to it in hand. Thanks for the opinions! Report this Post to the Staff

coinfox1 Valued Member United States 323 Posts	Posted 06/12/2013 10:54 am Thanks John! But what is up with that clad? Were the layers different between the 1981 and 1982? Those quarters are facing the same direction and the copper in them is opposite of each other. Report this Post to the Staff
biokemist6 Bedrock of the Community United States 12437 Posts	Posted 06/12/2013 12:30 pm There is no difference in the clad planchets but the core can appear to be closer to one side or the other. When a blank is punched from the metal stock sheet, the upper nickel layer will be pushed down a bit over the copper core so it appears that the copper is not in the center of the coin.
