Dearborn Moderator United States 95200 Posts	Posted 02/24/2023 9:14 pm looks like it was buried for a long time and the cladding eroded away. Collecting since 1972.

Dearborn Moderator United States 95200 Posts	Posted 02/25/2023 10:25 am not sure if it is an acid bath thing, after all we see all the time, a quarter that had the copper core etched away and not the cladding stating that the cladding is harder than the soft copper ant that is why the edge of a clad quarter looks like it has 2 rails for an edge.
