2019 Lowell National Park Quarter, Missing Clad Layer?

Whats up guys, I came across a Lowell quarter that has an obverse that is copper colored, but not like you usually see them, it is much more golden than straight copper. When I look at the rim I see the coper part pushed to the obverse and the clad on the reverse, this leads me to believe I have found a quarter that is missing the clad layer on the obverse. what are your opinions?

Something toned the obverse side.
Not missing clad layer IMHO

 

It looks copper to me....

 

and how would it tone that fast? its still 2019?

 

Soda in the cup holder

 

My guess.. It was face down in a car cup holder with spilled soda.. The soda toned one side.

 

It's toned on one side. With the right chemicals it can tone very fast.

 

This is copper....

...right @Cheech9712 !

There are myriad ways that coins can tone, and some toning doesn't take that long.

 

Thats a nice coin right there, hopefully I will find one of those one day. It was just toned. looked legit at first glance.

 

When it is missing a clad layer on one side, first thing is weigh it.
If it weighs normal (5.67g) it's not missing a clad layer.
Also when it is missing a clad layer the copper will usually be VERY BRIGHT.
Here is a partial missing clad layer. Compare it to your coin.

 

Damn right. And unique as well. Won't find that in a coin star

 

it was toned, I rubbed it off haha.

 

I think I might actually have found a quarter missing a clad layer though, could be environmental damage.

 

What's is weigh?
