merclover Bedrock of the Community United States 10635 Posts	Posted 06/29/2020 11:57 pm Your coin is just the victim of environmental tarnishing or elemental staining. This is seen in coins that have been buried underground or subject to weathering over a stretch of time. This is not a mint error, but rather simply post mint damage. to the CFF! We hope you'll stick around! Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 06/30/2020 4:47 pm If they coin was missing a clad, then the strike would be weaker: Also the color would not turn back to the normal color when the higher areas a showing circulation. Just spender. Not an error coin: Report this Post to the Staff
sirguardian Valued Member United States 354 Posts	Posted 06/30/2020 5:14 pm I agree with most of this. However, the confirmation would be in the weight of the coin. If it was missing "Cladding" the weight would be off by a noticeable margin would it not? Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 06/30/2020 9:33 pm Just slight amount for a missing clad on one side. More so with both missing. Did everyone catch the weakness of the strike? Report this Post to the Staff
