While we wait for a weight, this does appear to be a genuine missing clad error.

The obverse side pic of my coin does not show the redish/copper color that is shown better in the "Original" split pic. I can ASSURE You it has a copper/redish/brown color. One other note is with a magnifyer looking at the edge I see zero evidence of layers or sandwhiched layering. Just never seen before in my life personally. Anyway probably just a coin thats been under the ground since when? Couldnt be no longer than year 2000

Well I just weighed My coin on a Digital and I guess its not missing clad bc it weighs 5.52g (which is a bit light) but just for calibration comparison I weighed other coins around same year and they were all around 5.63-5.67g so to be missing obverse/reverse clad would assume in all likeliness it would be in the 4-5g weight? Idk. Definately a experience and a first discovery of a coin that has lost its luster! Thanks for Everybody's opinion and I will try to do better with My understanding and knowledge moving forward! Cheers!

Cheers! Best approach. Study and analyzing your self, read the experts it is the best. Forgot the 95 % of the YouTube . you has site who teach you what it is with example. If you want to see really videos on YouTube about coins you has COOP here member, or Daniel Malone. ANA Academy has also very instructive, I recommend. Another place it is PCGS site. Forgot this fatty guy from your Blue Ridge whenever. Is just "Blowing in the wind" (Bob Dilan). It is low content, and also has no idea about this hobby. Focus on your cents collection. Post here questions about. Could be really a good accumulation and because you told 1909 start, it is very promising. Good Luck |

 The original coin posted (which I understand is not your coin you are asking about) appears to be a genuine missing clad error which is also what Mike Diamond mentioned, while the later coins which is yours when I blow them up appear so far to be darkened from environmental toning of some kind instead. Missing clad layers are actually found a bit more often on 2000 quarters including also Maryland and 2000 massachusetts. One of the reasons I bought many mint sewn bags of those to look through when time finally permits. The weight from Massachusetts was 4.51g in mint state missing the obverse clad layer as a starting reference point. Here is another, a 2003   When a clad layer is missing, the coloring will be much more like copper so you can better see the difference in coloring which may help you (and others) in the future when looking. https://www.PCGS.com/news/missing-c...-error-coins |

Appreciate the all responses and for those from today. I'm not sure I'm readily equipted to go down the rabbit hole with My Cents (Wheaties) that My Grandfather saved then passed onto Me. I know I have a 1909 and can barely see some initials vbd in the bottom center. Most are not in great shape but years run from 1909, 10, 12, 16, 19, 22, 26, 27, 28, several in the 30's and 40's, & 50's. I also have a bunch in the 60's and some wven look AU. I am not privy to Key dates and errors so I guess they'll sit for another 100yrs. There's one from the 30's or 40's that is not cooper looks like silver or I think there's a steel one from wartime. Anyway thanks for the links opinions and knowledge. I have a long ways and a lot to learn! Cheers

to the CCF Wow - this was a long thread to eventually get you to show YOUR coin (not a comparison) and weight. This all could have been resolved in the first three replies. This is an everyday environmental toned quarter. Value is 25 cents. |
