Missing Plating Or Clad Layers Need Help? (2000 Quarter)

@cme, first welcome to CCF. Second, these are almost always environmental toning rather than missing clad. Just to confirm, can you please post both sides of the oddly colored quarter? I think you are saying that the untuned quarter is a second one for comparison purposes. Thx.

Simply weigh your coin. A quarter struck on a copper core, with no cladding on either side, will weigh much less than a normal quarter. But if it looks exactly like the coin you are showing, it is doubtful from the start as a coin struck missing clad on the obverse and reverse would likely have a very light strike on the details.

Thanks tropicalbats. Is clad and plating the same thing. The pic shown came from BRSH on His platform and this os where I got this pic through one of his tutorials or vids about plating/clad He used this example and I couldnt believe my eyes bc not only does mine look like His shown ex. Its the same year and state. Except mine is both sides and edge. I youtubed and found His video. So I suppose I could weigh. My coin doesn't seem to have the best strike there is some lightness to the strike overall IMO.

Yeh. I get to see those some videos and I close and past to other I less then one minute. Him or her who made the montage work, time, effort etc. You click those make money and you has junk. From point of view of science are complete illiterates and analphabets.

First: Clad, plating, molecular deposit come in same category: LAMINATION. This it is the metallurgical Mean: Cover an surface with other material by different procedures.




The plating and clad go in the same category of metal laminations BUT it is not a same think. Please when you state, be sure it is really prove think, not an analphabet on You Tube.


Now in numismatic, we can see on spot if was clad involved or not. First to look it is the design high and the deep of the design. Your coin has the color of environment or maybe intentional interventions. Many try to fake what is non sense.

Blue Ridge Silver Hound is pretty sleazy imo. He doesn't usually put outright lies in his videos, but he embellishes and tells selective truths to hype his viewers up and drive views on his videos.

As for the coin, just weigh it as TropicalBats said

Go ahead with your believes and blue ridges. Good luck.

to the CCF!

Thank You for the Replies! All I did was research possible missing clad to find out what I may have with My Coin. Blue Ridge came about and I watched His Video on the topic. Maybe He's not to Everybody's or One's liking I am just doing research. I find that a lot of responses (not just to My quest) have a subdued outcome/Opinion. Not all and likely a high percentage of circulated pocket change finds that are in quest. "Key Dates, Errors, Missing Clad,, ect.) are just that, nothing other than the face value however a lot of us arent trying to get rich quick or are out trying to decieve. In My case with this coin that I'm trying to research. I have several hundred Wheaties from 1909 and on that My Grandfather left Me and NOT one looks like a metal detector find infact in My 50 yrs I have never come across a coin that I came across with My coin in quest. Thats why I'm on here and such. So does that make it Rare, valuable, aboslutely not. Just boggles my mind that the "Subdued" or quick responses that suggest just a coin with crud/toning metal detector find but yet its the first one in 50yrs ive come across including all the old wheaties I have? I do appreciate Your answers/conclusion/opinion and You all have more, WAY more experience and I'm not arguing or being disrespectful just cant believe its My very FIRST Detector discolored coin I have come across, I guess & 🤷 #127995;#8205;#9794;#65039;
