sacagawea error

I found two a sacagawea errors in rolls that I opened. Both rolls were circulated with susan b anthony dollars in the rolls. I am wondering what kind of error they are. One is silver in color and it looks like it was struck on a susan b anthony coin but it is really dirty. And the other one has the normal gold on one side and a copper color on the other side. At first I thout that it was just missing the clad layer but it is also about 1/4 smaller than a regular sacagawea dollar and when it is tapped on something it makes a different sound than a normal sacagawea dollar. Any thoughts would be a great help. Thanks Mike.

    Coin number two could possible missing the outer manganese layer, which would let the coin make a different sound I think. When you say smaller, do you mean thinner or smaller diameter?

    Coin number one may just be "used". Sacs turn a nasty and ugly color after a while.

    Welcome aboard.

    If memory serves the clad layers on the Sacs are much thicker proportionally than the other clads.

    And the other one has the normal gold on one side and a copper color on the other side.

    I know for a fact that the Sac dollars tone to an ugly copper color when left out in the open. My daughter left one in her sand box for about a month. Looked like a large cent when it was rescued from the sand.

    I heard they were making a French version of Medal of Honor. I wonder how many hotkeys it'll have for "surrender."

    Yup. I just found a 2000-D with my detector. It was almost an inch deep, below the grass. Brown, just like a clad quarter would be, but I knew right away it was something different, because of the plain edge. Had it not been too shallow for a large cent, my heart might've skipped a beat.
