Missing Clad or Not

I have a coin that I thought was missing clad on both the obverse and the reverse after weighing it I don’t know what to think. It weighs 5.55. Any feedback would be appreciated.

    Nothing but environmental damage.

    Bury a clad coin for a year and it will look like that.

    Also, the edge would help tell the story.

    If ever in doubt, weighing it should tell the tale

    @Stlance61 .... Welcome aboard. It is not missing clad... it is environmentally stained, likely from being in the ground for a while. Have seen several like that. Cheers, RickO

    No need to weigh it or see the edge -
    it is not missing any outer clad layer.

    It's all environmental damage to the surfaces
    on both sides.
