2016 D partial missing clad?

So I ran into this and to me it don't seem like a scratch did this. Maybe something corrosive, but idk. What you think? It looked like it was in a new issue batch because it came out of nothing but shiney same year and mintmark bank rolls.. so I highly doubt it's damaged

Copper Plated Zinc cents do not have a Clad Layer... It's a Copper layer

Looks interesting though

 

oops... lol i stand corrected thats what i meant.

 

The new Zinc Cents are Clad with copper.
CLAD: Any hard coating bonded onto the outside of something to add protection.
The U.S.S. Constitution was Clad with steel plates on the outside, hence the name "Old Ironsides".
My house is Clad with plywood.

 

Haha well sounds like I stand with what I said.

 

@alurid
What I meant to say that coins that have a clad layer are referred to as the Ike, Kennedy, Quarter and Dime with a nickel-copper alloy
But I understand what you mean also

Clad coins
Definition of Clad Coin. A clad coin is a coin that has multiple layers of metal in it; most current U.S. clad coins consist of an inner core of copper, with outer layers of a silver-colored nickel-copper alloy.

United States Clad Coinage
In 1965 all the coins that traditionally had been made from an alloy of 90% silver and 10% copper were replaced by base metal coins. The Mint adopted a clad “sandwich” of copper and nickel to replace the coinage of dimes and quarters and a clad sandwich of 40% silver and copper to replace the half dollar (the half dollar dropped the silver content in 1970 and adopted the base metal clad metal in 1971).

 

Clad is an Action word, A process. It is not not a type of Alloy.
The process between a dime and cent is different, and the metal is to.
The purpose for the action is the same.

 

Fine... fin (the end)

 

Thank you for sticking through and clarifying. I get tired of seeing useless corrections over petty things like a missing letter or a self-perceived difference in a definition. Nothing irks me more, than when people feel the need to over correct others and they themselves are wrong.

 

Arrrrrrg... I'm sorry if I made you feel that way buddy... I do get carried away sometimes. I have even been called obnoxious!
Truth is that I am one of the nicest person you would ever meet!

Peace

 

Haha, you're a wealth of knowledge and help a great amount of people. Don't let me hold you back. You just have a penchant for that d at the end of double and triple as if adding or forgetting that letter actually changes the meaning/definition. I will admit that I'm not one of the nicest people you will ever meet, but I am one of the most honest and have a penchant of my own for telling people what I think even when they didn't ask for my thoughts.

Cheers.

 

@Seattlite86 Cool!

How's Germany? They following the Confederations Cup? Germany vs Cameroon Sunday. I'm rooting for Chile all the way!

 

Germany is beautiful and a bit warm though. Currently, they are celebrating Neckarfest in my area so lots of food and drinks all around.

Yes, soccer is big here and I'm cheering Germany to victory. I'm happy to cheer on Chile until they face Germany. I spent a couple of weeks in that country and loved it. Do you have a connection with the country?

 

I have seen this on a coin or two. I'm not certain the cause or if it's significant. I'll be honest, I think I tossed the ones I had back.

 

Well I agree with you in that clad and plated describe two different coins and processes. You don't use a hammer to electroplate.

 

It's okay. I still believe all of you haha. Moral of the story, some people would rather hear copper clad layer, because clad is also used to discribe the plantchet sandwich of metals? The plantchet has two names if you call it clad too. But if you look at it on the discription you sent @paddyman98 it even says, base metal, clad metal, but doesn't specify the type of metal. Zinc=base metal and copper =clad metal. Don't worry about it paddyman you still taught me a lot of things correctly. I see that it's a confusing word if you look at dimes, quarters, dollar coins and half dollars as clad coins. But I do wonder, if pre 82 penny is copper,5% tin.... where is the tin?? I have always wondered that.

 

US Mint cents have never been clad coins.

Plated? Yes.

This is not a time where there is a distinction without a difference.

Electroplated zinc planchets do not result in clad coins.

Rolled plating might, by a stretch, be considered clad.

Zinc pennies are not roll plated.

 

Good question. When you mix two metals together you end up with an Alloy.
Nickels are made from a Copper-Nickel Alloy. 75% Copper and 25% Nickel.
Wartime 5¢ pieces had no nickel in them.
U.S. small cents have always been made with a copper alloy, Cu-ni, and then what is commonly called Bronze.
