1974 Quarter Lamination Error with Edgeview™ pics

IRCWCoins

Here is a cool 1974 Quarter with a lamination error. The flashlight cone method works better than I thought it would for taking Edgeview™ pics.

Cladiator

It's actually a "defecting clad layer",
rather than a lamination.

A laminination is an improper metal-mixture of the planchet strip.

Since the copper core and the outer clad layer are bonded
together, and not "mixed", like a normal cent or nickel or
silver coin, the copper core is exposed due to the improper
bonding of the two metals, not an improper mixture of the
metals....

Hope this helps....nice quarter defect !
