*** Edited by Staff to Add Year / Mintmark / Denomination to Title. It's very important to have in the title. ***I just found this 2008 P New Mexico Quarter that appears to be brown or copper in color on both sides. Everything I've read says that the coin should weigh somewhere around 30% less. I see that the coin should weigh 5.67g and the one I found weighs 5.62 so I'm thinking this is not a dual missing clad coin. Thoughts?

I'm thinking environmental damage. Maybe buried at some point?

 Sounds like environmental staining. |

I am only seeing one of your pics (the edge) and it appears to be pretty normal for a clad quarter.

Only the third picture was uploaded properly. The first two image files were corrupted.

Looks like environmental exposure.

Good photos. I agree with environmental toning here. Keep as a novelty/learning reference.

AllenM, I agree with chemically striped, not a mint error. Check ebay for ones in a PCGS,NGC or ANACS holder for comparison. John1  |

to Community. I also agree with not being a mint error. The remaining partial clad on the rim tell's me it is not an authentic double sided missing clad layer. Edited by Chase007
