I've seen regular quarters missing clad layers, but cant find anything solid about the Bicentennial. Any info would be greatly appreciated.

Looks like a buried coin. Being in the ground for some time can leave the coin looking very dark.

I also think I see some of the clad layer peeking through the discoloration on the reverse, especially on the rim and the drummer's face.

Through the corrosion you can see silver in the high spots. That is the cupro-nickel layers. Just a homeless quarter.

It looks like the drummer took a hit to the face. The coin appears to be indented there.

Keep hunting.
