I am also wondering about clad errors. Are they worth looking into?

Clad errors should be under weight a bit and show the red color under the missing cladding. Also they can be a tend to be a bit weaker on the strike because of the missing cladding reducing the height of the planchet:

Red in color not brown.

Note weakness of the strike on both sides?

Not to be fooled by brown color coins which are found with a metal detector:

When the color rubs off the high spots, the original color comes back through:

Agreed with @JimmyD - what is more is that as the minting process for clad coins is perhaps more complicated than those of regular 'solid' alloys, an intimate knowledge of the process is a must.
