Copper core, yes.


Where do you see 'copper' other than the edge/core?


It's a damaged coin. Surfaces are what we call
'enviornmentally damaged'

 

I assume that you are suggesting that this quarter may be missing one or both clad layers. It isn't! If it were missing a clad layer, the high points of the devices would not have a silvery color to them.

Here is a coin missing a clad layer. Right @Cheech9712 ?

 

Any ideas what might of happen to this one its not i can I dont think its deteriorated because it has the same weight. I don't believe the clads are missing either that would mean they would weigh less as well

 

All I know is it has taken the color of copper i didnt know what else to call it

 

Black beauty???

 

Not a black beauty.. That's when a Planchet is improperly Annealed. That's not what you have..

Your quarter is Environmental Damage to the Clad.
Clad is made up of Cupro-Nickel. When exposed to dirt, soil, sand, water any elements the Copper will tone a darker color.

Your quarter is not a mint error of any kind

Here are examples from my metal detected clad -

 

Deterioration yes I was supposed it would have to be

 

No error here. Damaged coin.

 

Post Mint Damage coin worth 25 cents

 

ED and no pill will help it. Spender in my book.

 

Are we still doing this? Etsy says it's very rare and very special, it's specialness only exceeded by its raritiness, sellers have it worth between $10K and $50K.

get yo money!

 

Call it Damaged

 

Hahaha.. No!

 

Environmental damage

 

I think I see a grilled cheese sandwich plastered against George's forehead.

 

Ditto to all of the others except the grilled cheese sandwich and Etsy.
