This one looks like someone put acid on the reverse. Note how the rim shows the silver was there? I've seen these before where they removed all the cladding on one side of the coin. When you look closely at the area in question, you can see also where the acid ate into the copper.  |

On your coin the silver part is eaten off the coin, showing the copper on the reverse. Looks like it was pooled between the rims. You can see the silver part on the edge where the reeding is. If it were legit, then the silver would be missing there also.

A coin missing a clad layer will be noticeably light but most importantly, you would not see a ring of nickel cladding around the rim as seen on your coin. The coin below is a genuine missing clad error with part of the cladding retained-  |

I'm not exactly sure what caused the issue on this quarter, but I don't think it was acid. If it was acid I would think that the copper layer wouldn't have yet been revealed being that it isn't etched that deep. And if it was light acid damage, wouldn't there be a bit of a step between the nickel and copper looking areas on the reverse? The only thing that I am sure of is that this coin is not a mint error.
Coop, I'm a bit confused by your illustration of an acid dipped quarter. Is the quarter that has the copper revealed the acid dipped quarter? To me that coin looks like a genuine missing obverse clad layer error.

When you look closely to the rim, you can see where the acid dissolved the rim below the date. I was hoping for a real one, but I was wet behind the ears and didn't notice that when I bought it. On the real deal the devices are a lot stronger in detail. Theses are there, but weaker than they should be if it were real.

The design rim isn't always present on a missing clad layer error since in most cases there is a lack of metal and thus a lower pressure when striking. This is especially true when we are talking about a 1965 quarter which doesn't have much of a design rim when it is struck fully anyway. In addition to this, the surfaces look good; I don't see any evidence of its coming in contact with acid.
I believe it to be a genuine error. Do you still own it?
edit: Sorry, I don't mean to hijack the thread.

Question: There is some damage on the obverse around the mint mark, could this have been caused by acid that was quickly washed off?

I still have it. It sounds like it could be acid but I would hope not because I haven't had any luck with the error factor with coins I wish I would of known more about pocket change I wouldn't have got rid of so much of it

Dandeedan: I would keep it for now. I still have mine for over 13+ years.
