Are there error clad coins which are missing both clad layers for the front and back?

    Yes, I've seen them. I think they're fairly scarce. A lot of the ones you see on eBay are either acid-treated or struck on an improperly annealed planchet (a more common error type).

    << <i>Are there error clad coins which are missing both clad layers for the front and back? >>



    Are you talking about one on a regular three-layer clad planchet that lost both cladding layers either before or after the strike, causing it to be light weight, or one struck on a planchet blanked from the end of the strip where the cladding material ran out before the core material so that the core material was rolled to the normal thickness of the clad strip and the planchet is therefore of normal weight?

    dual missing clad layers are extremely rare, and there are less than a dozen examples known for all series of clad coins combined. I've had one of the 2 or 3 quarters known, and there is 1 half dollar that I know of, and perhaps 4 or 5 dimes. If you look on my website, I have an example of a dime with dual missing clad layers. Never heard of any on SBAs or Ikes.

    I have seen many coppper wash/copper migration Coins mistaken for missing class.I own a 1969 dime that so much copped blead through the outer clad layers that It appears as a copper dime.I as dumbfounded for a long time with this dime until I read enough anealing errors. I keep these around to stump folks.You should see my 1963 dime missing the silver laminate with the Bronze core showing.....Lol!I do have a cordless quarter.

    Without seeing a scan of the coin you're talking about,
    it's impossible to know if it's a copper-plated item, an
    acid treated item, or a 'copper-wash/sintered' item.

    If the coin is very very thin, and the surfaces are kind of
    'wavy', it's been acid/chemically treated.

    Seriously?! If we go to your website, spend an hour reading everything, page through 53 Web Pages of errors(which makes these things look as common as...), are careful not to miss it since there are sooo many of these things with one side missing the clad layer....then we might actually see one? Is this what you really meant to say? imageimage Why not just post a link to it? Yes, I probably spent 10-15 minutes looking and obviously missed it.

    That would take a long time, but I meant do a search for it. If you search for the word "dual" it comes up immediately. But here's the link anyway: https://sullivannumismatics.com/productdisplay/pcgs-10c-1980-p-roosevelt-dime-dual-missing-clad-layer-ms-62

    I found a 1974-D Washington Quarter, missing both clad sides, way back in early-1990s.
    It had been scratched by a pin, it seems, as someone probably thought it was just dirty or coated.
    I grade it at XF-45 via PCGS Photo Grade examples.
    I’ll get a pic up soon.
    Any idea on demand/value? Whom would be best to grade such an error coin?

  • rickoricko Posts: 98,724 ✭✭✭✭✭

    @Yonitz... Welcome aboard... If it is truly missing both clad layers and not an acid treated coin, then send it in to our hosts (PCGS) and have it authenticated and slabbed. Please let us know the results... Cheers, RickO

    I think I made a mistake buying this today. Did I? Is the label wrong?

  • FredWeinbergFredWeinberg Posts: 5,819 ✭✭✭✭✭

    It looks like it's fully struck, so it
    can't be missing both outer clad
    layers, imo.

    Probably a sintered planchet, but
    I wish I could see the reeded edge.

    That would tell me if it's sintered
    or copper-plated. (probably sintered)

    Really? 1963 dime? Any dime with a bronze core?

    I have a cordless drill. Why does a quarter need a cord -- except maybe for mixing martinis?

    :)

    PS: Planchets are never "sintered."

    Thank you Fred as that is my thinking (now) as well.

    Does look sintered, only other option (highly unlikely) is like Tom said about being the very end of the roll where copper bled out and was full thinkness.

    Problem is, I won the coin but have not paid. Most likley cancel.

  • BuffaloIronTailBuffaloIronTail Posts: 7,479 ✭✭✭✭✭

    ANACS slabbed the Dime. Could it possibly be that when the coin was struck it had die residue on it from striking "normal" Dimes?

    That would account for the silvery look in spots from a transfer of nickel dust.

    Just a guess.

    Any ideas what value a dual missing clad quarter would hold if it’s circulated, not so great condition?

  • JBKJBK Posts: 15,567 ✭✭✭✭✭

    That looks to be extreme environmental damage, not missing layers.

    Unfortunately it does not look like any other missing clad layer quarter. Here’s a link to Heritage Auctions showing legitimate missing clad quarters. You can see what authenticated and genuine ones look like.

    I have a light shining on it. So may look a little off but I already took it in ..like I said before and it is missing both sides of clad layer. Thanks again

  • FredWeinbergFredWeinberg Posts: 5,819 ✭✭✭✭✭

    Sorry, but that Everglades quarter is NOT missing either or both
    of the outer clad layers.

    The 'off' color you see is from some source after the coin was
    already in circulation.

    It is not an error coin of any kind, I'm sorry to say.

    Looked at by whom?
    This coin is not missing any layers and simply has a slight color change from environmental damage.
    Sorry if that's not what you want to hear but it is the reality of the situation.

    Amazing! It really is missing 2 clad layers! What’s going on with the obverse of that coin?

    It’s uniface, multistruck, and was starting to even become a die cap, all on just the copper core!

    Are all your Weinberg provenance coins GoldShield or with TrueView?

    You can't post pics until your membership is approved, which is at least a few days

    Weigh your coin. If it doesn't weigh significantly less than 5.67 grams, it's not missing clad layers. What you almost certainly have is a discolored coin caused by environmental damage. The clad layer is actually an alloy that contains 75% copper and will easily discolor if it spent time on the ground
