Can someone verify or tell me if this is correct? I am new to coin collecting - trying to learn the terminology and to make sure things I think are errors are actual errors and not me just thinking they might be. There are 2 coins I found today that had what I believe to be two different errors? But I am so new to this that I could be wrong... I got this 1977 Dime today with copper showing through wrapped around the coin. is it Lamination error? I also got this Quarter today its brown speckle all the way around even the sides are the same. is it missing Clad Layer? thanks Edited by OcalaFlorida 02/19/2014 3:40 pm Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 02/19/2014 3:39 pm Looks like rust/corrosion? If it were missing cladding on the dime, it would show as a missing level. The red areas look level with the cladding. Report this Post to the Staff
