In my travels last week in North Georgia, I received several state quarters in change. One, 2000 South Carolina was obviously different in that face - Washington side was "unclad", with a full copper face only. The state side was fully clad. Don't if there is any value. Anybody - any thoughts? //cv
Can you post photos... This could be an error or it could be a job of plating that someone has done as a joke. Speedy
BTW---Also if you would be able to get the weight of the coin..... You see if its plated its worth $0.25 BUT if it's a true missing clad layer (Only the weight and photos can tell for sure) its worth a few hundred. Speedy
Photos can't really tell you much either (unless the clad layer was lost after striking), and even a weight may not tel you much. If the weight is low it would be meaningful because it would indicate that the planchet was punched from the strip and subsequently lost a clad layer. But if the planchet was cut near the end of the strip it is possible for one or even both of the clad layers to be missing from the strip and the planchet to be the proper thickness and weight even with a missing layer. (During the rolling of the strip it is possible for the outer clad layers to "run out" and leave the copper core layer exposed and rolled to the proper thickness. These ends are supposed to be cut from the strip before it is put through the blanking press but sometimes it doesn't get trimmed.)
