What do you make of this? Do clad coins have a solid copper core? Is it possible for someone to have removed the outer layer or did it come from the mint this way?

The strike should be weaker if the outer layer are truly missing.

How would striking a planchet without a clad layer make the strike any weaker? Looks like a coin struck on a copper planchet.

If the outer layer is missing then the planchet is underthickness leading to a weak strike. --Jerry
