Hi again, I need to know if I am looking at a planchet that is missing both obverse and reverse clad layers or if this was part of some science experiment. If it is a case of missing clad layers, Should I send it to be graded? Thank you and happy searching!     *** Moved by Staff to a more appropriate forum. ***Edited by fruitofmycoins

It's a proof and not missing anything as far as I can tell.  In Memory of Crazyb0 12-26-1951 to 7-27-2020

I see 1999 D Pennsylvania quarter. It looks toned, not missing any clad layer.

It's definitely not toned. I dipped it.

Look up what a missing clad layer looks like. A coin that is missing the clas layer has a copper color because the nickel sandwich is missing. This coin has a stained nickel appearance. Not all toning or staining comes off with a quick dip, especially on modern coins that aren't made of silver.
Can you add pictures of the edge? That will tell us if it is missing the layers.

Looks like a typical dug coin with environmental damage. Dipping won't restore the original color. This coin is well struck. A coin with missing cladding would be weakly struck.

Numis and jacrispies are kind of confirming what I thought. Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't rare for a coin to be missing clad layers on both sides? Also, I had already looked up what a missing clad layer coin looks like before posting this and actual missing clad layer coins definitely have a copper color. Although I have seen some that are darker. Maybe not this dark. I probably should have mentioned this before, it weighs 5.6 g. I think somebody might have baked something onto it. Idk. I figured it was worth asking because dipping it didn't remove it. So learned something today.
