honestabe Valued Member United States 142 Posts	Posted 01/04/2008 9:29 pm Is this clad layer missing due to mint damage or post mint damage?

foundinrolls Pillar of the Community United States 3507 Posts	Posted 01/04/2008 9:35 pm Impossible to tell from the picture if a clad layer is missing. I see glue on the surface and the color of the picture as it is is not accurate enough to determine the color. Edited by foundinrolls 01/04/2008 9:36 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Sleaklight Pillar of the Community United States 827 Posts	Posted 01/04/2008 9:40 pm looks like it was struck through oil or thin grease or maybe there was tapeon the coin and someone pulled it off and some was tape glue was left and has colored up. It's not missing clad layers in my opinion. Report this Post to the Staff
KurtS Pillar of the Community United States 5318 Posts	Posted 01/04/2008 10:56 pm Are the clad layers visible on the edge of this coin? Report this Post to the Staff
honestabe Valued Member United States 142 Posts	Posted 01/04/2008 11:38 pm Hey, just the usual copper and silver colors on the edge of the coin. The only gold showing is on the reverse like in the picture. None of the gold is near the edge of the coin. Could the die have possibly pealed the layers off? Why would someone put glue on the coin and then remove it? Report this Post to the Staff
Sleaklight Pillar of the Community United States 827 Posts	Posted 01/04/2008 11:52 pm maybe someone stuck it to a christmas card and the recipient though it be best to detach and spend it? Report this Post to the Staff
KurtS Pillar of the Community United States 5318 Posts	Posted 01/05/2008 12:57 am I might be copper dust that was sintered to the planchet during the annealing process. Report this Post to the Staff
honestabe Valued Member United States 142 Posts	Posted 01/05/2008 12:54 pm Would Copper Dust be gold colored? Could the clad layer have been worn off somehow? Report this Post to the Staff
KurtS Pillar of the Community United States 5318 Posts	Posted 01/05/2008 2:05 pm quote: Would Copper Dust be gold colored? Dunno, if that color appears to be metallic, perhaps it's dust collected from annealing of those dollar coins? I don't see those much, so I'm totally guessing here. Report this Post to the Staff
honestabe Valued Member United States 142 Posts	Posted 01/05/2008 4:33 pm What about that gold foil that women use in hobby crafts. I think you glue it on to an object and it looks like real gold? Or mabye gold paint? But there are "glue marks" or abrasion around the edges of the gold spots. Looks like the clad layer was worn or pealed off. Report this Post to the Staff
honestabe Valued Member United States 142 Posts	Posted 01/05/2008 4:46 pm You all are correct. It is glue or some residue on the coin. It scratches right off with me fingernail. Report this Post to the Staff
