I'm looking to maybe buying this but would like your opinion on this, would this be considered an improperly annealed coin? Only photo I can get. Thanks. * Edited by Staff to Add Year / Mintmark to Title. It's very important to have in the title. * Report this Post to the Staff

MrJ Valued Member United States 99 Posts	Posted 01/02/2023 09:56 am Looks like it is missing a strip of the clad layer to me. What does the reverse look like? Does it appear as a normal quarter or does it also have the strip? Report this Post to the Staff

MrJ Valued Member United States 99 Posts	Posted 01/02/2023 10:22 am Deff nothing to do with improper annealing, that generally effects the whole coin. From what I can see as I said my best educated guess is missing clad. If it is its deff a keeper. Report this Post to the Staff

nick10 Pillar of the Community United States 3207 Posts	Posted 01/02/2023 11:12 am perhaps a strip deposited by a rubber band, an acetone bath would help check Report this Post to the Staff
MrJ Valued Member United States 99 Posts	Posted 01/02/2023 11:29 am It would help but for a rubber band or any flexible rubber to leave the stain it would need to be on there for a decent amount of time undisturbed. Then when the rubber band was peeled off bc it would be stuck to it it would leave behind traces of the rubber and maybe almost a glue like residue not to mention it wouldn't be one solid color. It would be spotty with maybe patches of more solid color. Believe it or not I've found quarters and other coins with rubber bands stuck to them and they sat for an unknown time. Each time the rubber band was taken off it left the pretty much the same residue and look each time. You just happened to mention a random possibility that I have encountered and know what it does to a coin lol.... if you had chosen almost any other type of foreign material sitting on it, I wouldn't be able to say that can't be it lol. Thus made me laugh #128515; and after my day yesterday I needed that so ty ha ha ha Edited by MrJ 01/02/2023 11:30 am Report this Post to the Staff

The color of the strip is correct and fit with the age of a cooper expose to the environment. If you can have photo for the side, because I see the pic it is from ebay.

silviosi Pillar of the Community Canada 6244 Posts	Posted 01/02/2023 1:42 pm It is a legitim missing clad. Thanks John for the link. For those who collect those coins the price seem to be fair. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 01/02/2023 6:46 pm The strike should be strong on the missing clad area. *When the clad is removed, the design suffers.* Report this Post to the Staff
merclover Bedrock of the Community United States 10635 Posts	Posted 01/02/2023 8:07 pm Looks to be discoloured from some foreign substance causing a different patina under it. Too straight to be a lamination. Report this Post to the Staff

silviosi Pillar of the Community Canada 6244 Posts	Posted 01/02/2023 8:31 pm This it is the coin in question. Missing clad at the end of the clad roll must be strait. Edited by silviosi 01/02/2023 8:33 pm Report this Post to the Staff
