Skippy72 Valued Member United States 447 Posts	Posted 12/18/2018 04:33 am Good,morning. I received the cain with other change from a store about a month ago. Its worn and appears to have copper starting to be visible through out layers. What mainly got my attention was the weight. 5.2 grams. Also, I have never seen an edge showing 3 layers. Here are some pictures so you can steer my right on this. Thanks. Report this Post to the Staff

Also the weight of the quarter is normal since back then, approxametly 1965 quarters, they weighed 5.6 grams. Not for sure why the quarter has multiple layers, maybe they did that back then? Not for sure...besides it having multiple layers, everything else on your quarter is normal, to my eyes. Report this Post to the Staff

Skippy72 Valued Member United States 447 Posts	Posted 12/18/2018 08:54 am Ive tried to find something listed and I havent found anything. The center layer showing in the first picture on the left, is wide copper, with two thin outer layers, which I am guessing is clad? Report this Post to the Staff
JimmyD Bedrock of the Community Canada 21611 Posts	Posted 12/18/2018 09:49 am Looks to me like the nickel cladding has started to wear off. A 1972 quarter is made with a copper core with a copper/nickel cladding. If the rim is worn, it would show a sandwich effect of nickel-copper-nickel. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 12/18/2018 10:20 am Looks like it was dipped in acid. Note the copper core is shrunk back and the cladding was affected. PSD. Spendable (probably might work in a vending machine yet) Report this Post to the Staff
