 It looks right to me!  Can you get a weight on the coin? If possible in grams. ANA ID: 3203813 - CONECA ID: N-5637 Clean a coin that may be worth collecting? Please DON'T! When in doubt, leave it dirty!!

@xod, first welcome to CCF. Quote:
Is this an error or some sort of environmental damage? It looks like environmental damage to me, but knowing the weight as noted by @yokozuna will help to confirm. "If you climb a good tree, you get a push."

I really appreciate the information so far. I will try to get a weight on it today and report back.
@Spence I have to agree that initially I thought this was the standard toning or someone messing around with coins. When I first saw it I almost left it in the register. I started looking closely at it and a few things make me think maybe it's the real deal. First thing is there is no evidence or traces of cladding on the reverse. It's like it just never existed. The above pictures don't show it as well as I wanted but the color is uniform and looks like an older penny. There is not a coating or oxidation or anything on the coin. The cladding stops at the edge and Looks very much like the examples I've seen while researching these errors. There is no abnormal wear or staining, it is a circulated coin that looks perfectly normal with the exception of the missing cladding.
All that being said. I'm a new guy at this so I may be overlooking something or really wanting this to be something it may not be. Thanks again for all the help.

This looks like it could be legit. Like you said, no evidence of cladding and the Obverse is clean. But then again, people can get very smart and creative with how they experiment on coins. I hope it's a cladding error, but there's always the possibility of normal ED.

Can't tell anything from the edge, but my initial impression is that it is good. It doesn't look like your typical environmental damage.

xOD, I am a doubled die guy, so really poor form for me to comment on your possible error coin. But I do have in my collection an error or two that exhibit loss of clad layer. I will just say that it looks legit to me, and hopefully you can get this figured out among the error folks. Nifty coin and hope it is the error it looks like.

Hello everyone. I appreciate all the replies. I went out and got a scale and here are the results. What do you think? Seems promising.   |

Weight's about right for a missing clad layer as well. By George I think he's got it!

That's a BINGO! The clad layer on a quarter weighs about 1 gram. The correct weight for a clad quarter is 5.67 grams. This would be called a Bonding Error (More information here http://www.error-ref.com/missing-fu...ore-strike/), or to be specific, a "Missing Clad Layer Before the Strike." You can also have a missing clad layer after the strike, but the coin would look blurry on the missing clad side. It's rare, but some missing clad coins can weigh the same as a normal coin. Those coin have been rolled without the clad layer. NICE error coin! ANA ID: 3203813 - CONECA ID: N-5637 Clean a coin that may be worth collecting? Please DON'T! When in doubt, leave it dirty!!
