If it was missing clad, it would be a copper colour.
Looks more like environmental toning.

Agree with above, if clad layers were missing you'd have a copper colored quarter, which I'm not seeing.
Your photo of the edge is too dark to clearly show the clad layers.

 Looks like a typical detector find. |

Thanks for the additional edge photos AlilT. It looks like just a Corroded / Environmentally Effected quarter. Another clue to a quarter missing clad layers is that the coin would be quite thin and your coin looks like a normal thickness. Photo below shows the difference.  Of course you can always submit your coin to be verified/graded by a TPG, but IMHO I think it would be a waste of $$$. |

to the CCF and If it was missing both clad layers it would be lighter than that. Just environmental damage. |
