 what's up CoinCommunity and enthusiast! I have a question about a 1995 D Washington State Quarter Appears to be missing its clad layer on both sides With a small PMD at the bottom. Can you confirm by looking at these photos that this is the case and if so, is it worth getting graded and or selling? Thank you in advance for Everybody's help and input. Best regards, Charles San Diego

 to CCF. Weight might help a bit,but it does not look like a genuine missing clad layers. It looks like environmental damage to me. John1  |

Sorry about that John1
Weight is 5.57 g and and are typically copper-ish in color also a quote Jon Sullivan "dual missing clad layers are extremely rare, and there are less than a dozen examples known for all series of clad coins combined. I've had one of the 2 or 3 quarters known, and there is 1 half dollar that I know of, and perhaps 4 or 5 dimes. If you look on my website, I have an example of a dime with dual missing clad layers. Never heard of any on SBAs or Ikes.

Here is another description of clad layer missing on both sides of the quarter that I find interesting " Missing both clad layers would make the coin underweight and thin. The dies are set to strike a coin leaving a certain gap between them so a normal planchet will receive an acceptable strike without being overstruck which will wear out the dies faster among other problems. I would expect a thinner coin to have a weak strike to it because of this.

Thank You Dorado
&
Thank you John1
From what I can see looking at the link this quarter not only matches the the description regarding it's weight as well as in the characterization of the light strike. I also believe that it resembles some the pictures that are in the link would you agree?

Correction I did continue to read / investigate and did see where it talks about the weight being 4:7 or there about no on the quarter with no clad layer, but I do not know where that puts this coin because like I said it mine weighs 5.6g-5.7g

It definitely looks like a dug up coin with environmental damage.

To CCF! Just a coin with bad Environmental Damage. Not an error coin. PSD. Errers and Varietys.

Well I guess that's why they are called rare error coins. I guess I will continue the search. Thank you for everybody's input and assistance.

Note the normal color on the rims where the coating on the coin has worn off. That tells us that it's an outside found coin. Not an error. Just a spender. Don't believe me? They carry it in your pocket for a week. What will happen then the color will turn darker and the tops of the devices will turn back to the original color while the fields will remain dark. If it were missing a clad, then it would remain copper colored. It's not a missing clad we see these all the time. Want more information, stick around. If not, you were told the truth.
