Help With This Quarter Missing Clad Layer Or Environmental

it was a metal detect find. I have pulled them out before close to this color but I can always rub the edges and see silver...not the case with this one. All the way around is is that same bronze looking color with no difference.

to the CCF!

Coop called it! The only thing I can add is that a coin missing BOTH clad layers is so rare that only a handful have ever been certified, and while it is possible to have a coin that's rolled out of copper stock, again only a few are known to exist.

Also, you may want to use something that's not made of metal to hold your coins for imaging. Contact with any surface that can scratch or gouge you coin should be avoided. I use a soft cotton diaper and wear cotton gloves when I handle my coins and make sure that the surface on my copy stand is clean and dry before placing a coin on it. I'm so picky about limiting scratches that I wont's even use staples in my 2X2s. Just a thought.

Even though you found this in a roll, it most likely still has spent a good part of it's life underground and/or in a fire. This is environmental post mint damage ( PMD). The darker it is, the more environmentally damaged it is. We see these almost daily, probably because they stand out so clearly from normal coins. No premium, I'm afraid. As long as it's recognizable as a quarter, it's value is still 25 cents.

I am seeing environmental damage.
