New Mexico state quarter possible missing clad layer and back side barely visible

2008p I think its missing clad layer but I can't explain the back side its a weak strike maybe? Anybody have idea?

Sorry to tell you this, but that's got environmental damage. Looks like rust.

 

Thank you, is that why the back side is like not there much at all?

 

My first impression is that it is environmental damage, but I really need a better close-up of both sides.

nope not a missing clad layer kinda looks like its been under dirt for a while

 

crud

 

Here's a Washington Quarter missing the reverse clad layer

 

Is this your coin, Rick? I've heard that SEGS can sometimes be hard on grading, and this looks like it could be one of them. Maybe I'm missing something, but it sure looks better than MS65 to me.

Chris

 

Yes Chris it's mine .
Funny you say that, because Fred Weinberg said the same thing . He thinks it better then MS-65 too and in BU shape ..

Its been slabbed since 2000 too ...

 

The unfortunate part is that I don't think SEGS can be crossed to either NGC or PCGS. You'd have to crack it out before submitting it to one of them.

Chris

 

I think PCGS is charging 50 dollars now, for error coins and thats crazy to me ...

 

That's ridiculous! NGC charges the Tier charge + $15 for the error designation.

Chris

 

That could be worth checking into .
I've broken coins out of slabs, put none in this grade ..

Here's an image of the reverse I took, I'll try to take a new image of the obverse, other then the sellers ...
