CoinAddiction New Member United States 37 Posts	Posted 07/27/2019 04:31 am Hi Fuzzy, thanks.. Sounds right. You can see the silver where the ugly stuff seems to have flaked off on the edges. Guess that shouldn't be silver color if missing clad? On to the next one! :) Edited by CoinAddiction 07/27/2019 04:32 am Report this Post to the Staff
Fuzzy317 Moderator United States 14463 Posts	Posted 07/27/2019 04:50 am What does it weigh? 5.7 grams is normal, yours may be slightly more than that. I found a graded quarter missing the clad layer on the reverse showing 4.75 grams. If it was missing both clad layers, it should be under 4 grams. Report this Post to the Staff

John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 07/27/2019 05:52 am I don't think you can only go by the weight. An environmental damaged coin can lose weight also. It does not have the right look for a missing clad layer regardless of weight,IMHO. John1 Report this Post to the Staff

hole_in_pocket Valued Member United States 194 Posts	Posted 07/27/2019 08:06 am I've dug plenty of coin, definitely a ground coin. not necessarily an in-the-ground coin, but on the surface for a while. got some of my own loose change on the driveway looking similar. Still, you spotted it, one day it will be a good one, keep searching. Report this Post to the Staff

Evironmental cameo lol. Report this Post to the Staff
