Fully clad. Just dirty.
Appreciate the guess...but that's definitely not it. That's copper showing.

Slightly better images, after a couple minutes in xylenes

Weigh it. A partial clad quarter would weigh less than a normal quarter.

Actually it's slightly heavy @ 5.70 grams

This quarter was dirty. I let it soak in acetone; after pics.
What puts a brown stain on nickel? (I want to know why it makes me richer, not how much.)
(I also practice my photography of coins. iPad Pro, using the app—Macro Mode—)
With all the harsh scratches on that, not wondering if it was whizzed down to the copper.

Those fine lines are dead straight vertically on both sides.
And the lines are thoroughly in the recesses as well, as if they were on the planchet before striking.
What's throwing me off is that based on exactly your sort of assumption (which was mine too) I'm seeing areas where I would expect to see wear but I don't, and vice versa. Also the little missed areas and areas completely free of clad.

Nifty answer. Buzz words, double ellipses, and useless.
Edit: At first I did not understand this reply.
from the photos, it looks like it was pressed into a planchet that already had that scoring on it.
Discolored – not missing any of the obv clad layer, given the weight listed

I love the "student" aspect of learning about these coins. Than the teacher supplying the answers!
Thanks Fred.

Throw a coin enough times, and suppose one day it lands on its edge.
The expert has given us the answer. I do not know how the discoloration occurred though... Cheers, RickO
