1. Weight? Is it normal/over/under?
2. If you rub on the rim or the edge of the reeds. Do you start to see gray color or a deeper red color?

3. It appears that you have a full strike. On the missing clad layers, we see a weakening of the strike because part of the clad is missing:

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.

Place a BU red copper coin on top of your quarter. I feel the red is not that dark in color. But your eyes would know more because you light sources you would know about. But an over cast/partly cloudy light day would be a good test for the red color. I feel it is not a missing clad. But I'm just seeing it from images. But give it the sunlight test. See what you think?

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.

Correction on this...I got it out of a quarter roll hunt..Thanks for the advice on handling. It was a plastic stand that came with the microscope but I don't want it to scratch it. Here are pics in the daylilght and yes I know....I need to learn to take better pictures.

I am not necessarily looking if something has a premium...I look through a lot a coins and look out for the unique ones.

Better pictures?

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.
