The clad looks an oreo with the nickel thick on each side and a narrow copper line. The "In" is gone but not sure if its damage, or residual from the minting. It also only weighs 5.2g. The alloy looks very different than a usual quarter. Thanks in advance for any help! Report this Post to the Staff

Second, that "Oreo" feature occurs on clad coins when they are exposed to a corrosive environment such as immersion in acid. That is not a mint error.

nozzy819 New Member United States 25 Posts	Posted 09/24/2021 11:17 am @Spence . Thank you. Are the other things (weight, band) attributed to that as well? And no, I promise I did not do that, lol. Report this Post to the Staff
Spence Moderator United States 34511 Posts	Posted 09/24/2021 11:21 am Well for sure a coin that has bathed in acid will weigh less than when it was struck. As to the "band", I think you might be talking about the rim. It is a little hard to tell with these pics, but your coin might have been struck with a slightly misaligned die. Added: acid also affects the rims, so I'm not positive about this for your coin.

DACWG183 Valued Member United States 86 Posts	Posted 09/24/2021 6:54 pm Welcome! Ya. Acid. I learned this horrible truth when I almost fainted over a 1952 Lincoln Cent weighing 2.00g. Why people mess with us error guys I will never know. They are probably just trying to make a counterfeit buck. Not make us mad. But it does. Report this Post to the Staff
