Wow, what's your definition of "rare".
Missing reverse clad layer SHQ errors are one of the more common types of MAJOR Errors but by no means they are common. I will stick with the term rare.
Back to the error that no one has guessed as to the error .... here's a hint 4 o'clock

No guesses so here's the story ...... this coin is a "flip over double struck in collar" error. You can see the "OF AM" OF AMERICA from the underneath obverse strike ....
I was going to give this away (See Coin Below) as the prize, but no one guessed it so I'll just have to keep it .....
<< <i>Yes, it is called "Missing Reverse Clad Layer" Error
Here is another that could be found in a roll, altho even more rare than the above one. In fact, it is the only one that I have seen on a State Quarter, here you go, a "Stuck in Wire" error .....

It's actually a rolled-in wire. Specifically, it is a carbon-steel bristle from a rotating descaling brush that is used to clean the clad strip and core strip. These break off from time to time and end up being rolled into the composite strip in the bonding mill. The intrusive wire causes the thin clad layer to split as the metal is rolled out. This exposes the underlying copper core. I've seen more than half a dozen of these on state quarters. The sinuous shape and black color are characteristic of such rolled-in wires. This error type goes back to at least 1970. You can find them on all clad denominations. Quarters and half dollars are most common.
The grading services almost invariably slab these as "struck-in" wires, which is incorrect. A struck-in wire does not split the clad layer.

Errormaven, I thank you for your very detailed explanation, you really know your stuff. I have heard that these are wire bristles from a brush, but did not know that they were "Rolled In", Thank you. BTW the NGC holder does say "Struck in Wire". Oh, too have seen some of the errors that you have seen
Anyway back to the thread.... here is a "elliptical clip" SHQ error ............
