We need a weight please.

You'll need to get a weight. But looks more like environmental toning.

New scale is on the way. Old one no good. Will update when I get it.

It is environmentally toned.
If it was missing the clad, it would be copper colour with a weaker strike.

Look closely at the last picture (angled), it shows it best. The edge copper tone is the same as the surface. In the sunlight you can see it, camera lighting is bad blue LED. I will try to get a better picture and update, also weigh it when the new scale gets here.

I'm going with an environmentally toned quarter until we get an accurate weight posted.

Toning. It has obscured the edge as well. Weight will confirm.

This is the very first image I ever posted here on CCF. It is a damaged Roosevelt dime. the top part of it is environmentally toned - it has the same color as your quarter. the part in front of Roosevelt (and part of his face) had the cladding scraped off somehow - note the bright color of the copper core - of which your quarter does not show The rest is showing the bright silvery color a clad coin (Dime, Quarter, Half Dollar) should have.  |

Just a poorly toned quarter. Doesn't even remotely look like it's missing cladding. Here's what a missing clad coin looks like...  |

The clad is there, the pic that looks like a railroad track tells the story. Environmentally tones as well as that coin sat in some type of acid liquid for a little while.

To be fair, this coin has been circulated for almost 60 years, so it won't still have the orange copper tone. Here is a comparison->  |
