1985 D Quarter Question

BobGreves

Appears to be a clad error. But I can't seem to find any 1985 D's out there with clad errors. Does anyone have any additional information this year D mint coin and clad errors?

Other than the discoloration which looks like a stain, what particularly is notable about the quarter?

Heading to work right now. Will respond to questions if any as I am able.

I see nothing but some environmental damage

BobGreves

Backsides definitely a step down around the edges of the missing clad.. Front side debatable. No step down.

I see:

1) you holding the coin wrong (only hold by the edges)

2) an environmentally damaged quarter. The edge looks fine, the obverse looks dirty, and the reverse looks stained (if a portion of the clad layer had peeled off the planchet, the rim would be copper colored as well.

That's how I see it anyway.

if it were missing the clad layer then there is beyond a Powerball winning luck that the curved eagle's wing -- shown in red - is clad colored. Even more ditto that the entire rim is clad colored.

@BobGreves .... Welcome aboard.... You have a quarter with Post Mint Damage (PMD)... no numismatic premium. Cheers, RickO
