This is the first one of these I've got that has a partial bit of clad left on the face. Kinda looks like a clad Cud as it is raised above the surface of the copper face. So how does it come about that this little bit was left on the coin while the rest of the clad went off to see the Wizard? Just curious. Weight is 1.90g 2006-P Roosevelt dime missing clad (reverse)    |

Coop, are you suggesting then that the cladding came off after the strike on this one since the obverse devices are still strong? That's helpful in understanding things. Cool graphic! E&V, Nah, most of the stuff I've been finding lately are my usual Lincoln DDO and RPM coins that I don't post very often. But since I found that 1966 low pressure strike I've been going through some of the stuff I bought recently and looking for things I don't understand. This was one of those. Still not sure quite how you end up with just that little bit of curved clad left on the coin, but yeah, it's a pretty neat one and headed for my permanent collection once I am done learning about it. |

Still though, congratulations on finding such a nice error coin! I hope you find more of them!  Errers and Varietys.

That's very nice! I don't specifically know what @coop was saying, but I would say that the cladding disappeared before the strike. The combination of weak and strong areas on both sides suggests that. In Memory of Crazyb0 12-26-1951 to 7-27-2020

It happens.  I meant to add this image to the previous post, but for got it. No I feel the cladding was mostly missing before the strike. It it cam off later, it would look like the upper image. |

I think that last graphic shows pretty well that the dime lost the clad before the strike. My only issue with that is that the rim area on the partial bit of clad is well raised above the surface of the un-clad part. Wouldn't the strike itself flatten it all out to be pretty even?

Note on your coin there are areas where weakness appears on both sides of the retained clad.  If the cladding came off the coin after the strike, that would explain the weakness of those areas on both sides of the cladding. Is there cladding on the reeds on these areas? Edited by coop

The cladding on the reeding is totally confined to the area you see on the reverse.
