Spence Moderator United States 34511 Posts	Posted 02/12/2023 10:54 am @char, it is hard to know what specifically has caused this odd surface color—could be ground burial, chemical exposure, etc. I'm not seeing any 3vidence of a missing clad layer though.

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 02/12/2023 12:30 pm Just a stained coin. On a missing clad it will be red colored like a BU cent color. There is a coating on your coin. When wiped off the edge, then you will see the normal coin on your coin. On a missing clad, the color will be red and never show any of the normal clad color. Note the weakened devices? That is from the missing clad thickness that was missing because of the clad not being present on this coin. Report this Post to the Staff
