That's called Copper plating, not Clad. Clad is only on Quarters. What you have here, is a chemically altered coin. The plating has been removed chemically. It's Post Strike Damage (it happened after it left the U.S. Mint). Worth face value.
Errers and Varietys.

I have a question for Errers and Varietys; Why is it that clad does not include copper? One definition of the word clad is "to bond a metal to (another metal), especially to provide with a protective coat" so in numismatics why does the metal type make a difference. It is hard to understand without knowing why. Thank you in advance.

Bent coin=damage to a collector. Move on to the next coin. (Cull coin, just worth face value)

I cannot find any pressure damage to the coin to indicate that it was bent post mint. I see shadowing on 'one cent' and the bottom left corner of the monument. I am new to this but I cannot see how this coin was bent without damaging it.

I cannot find any pressure damage I suspect it is due to heat. jst1dreamr It is a different process. Clad planchets are pressed from sheets that are already layered. Three layers that are fused together. The cent is plated after being punched out of a sheet of zinc. |

@DrDon, Thank you for you explanation, it still is strange but now I have a process to learn about. In metal working it would still be cladding so you can understand why it was confusing to me. I do appreciate you taking the time to explain.
