If it's missing it's clad layer it will be lighter and thinner than a normal quarter.
A normal quarter is
WEIGHT: 5.67g
Diameter 24.26 mm (0.955 in)
Thickness 1.75 mm (0.069 in)
Picture and to the eye can be off color toning and not really missing the nickel layers. Only way to know for sure is to weigh it (easiest) then to measure the thickness with a caliper measuring tool.
It should feel lighter, sound way different, and be somewhat flexible compared to a normal quarter due to its thinness.

 to CCF. Need a good pic of the edge also. The weight might be less even if the clad layers were removed on purpose. Your coin does not have the look of a genuine missing clad layers to me. Check Google images and look at only slabbed ones from PCGS and NGC to see what a real one looks like. John1  |

Looks more like environmental damage to me. If it was missing the cladding, the letters would be thinner than on a normal coin. Also to the CCF |

If it were missing a clad layer the color would be a darker red color. Also as mentioned the weight would be reduced and the strike would be weaker. This is what one of these would look like: Missing one clad:    Note weakness of strike? That should be present on your coin. A lot of these coins are metal detector finds:  They are normal coins that are that color when found outdoors. In circulation they turn back to silver in time on the higher points. Note on your coin on LIB on Liberty. You can see where the color is starting to come back. So your coin was found outside and in time, the silver color will come back. Now it is still covered. Keep in your change in your pocket and take a look at if in a week or two and you will see the change in color. Then you will know for sure that is what it is. (or take a cloth and rub on that area for a short time and you will see the silver color to re-appear. Edited by coop

John1 But if the clad layers were removed on purpose, post strike, the surfaces would be much less smooth and the details much less distinct. This image shows a dime with part of the clad layer missing post strike. Look at the surfaces and sharpness of the details/lettering. (it isn't easy finding a image of post strike missing clad layers. almost all of them are with the layer missing pre-strike)  Edited by Conder101
