Some clad layer showing

    Looks like some clad layer is showing.. does it add any value since it's so small of an exposure? Or is it just 10 cents? Or 9.7 cents? Lol

    Haha ok.. but it is missing clad right? I like to keep examples of different varieties. I swap them out with better ones when I find them.... unless the better ones have a premium

    That doesn't fall into the variety category. It's a slight planchet flaw but nothing major.

    So planchet flaws would be errors?

    Ok. I'll look here in a few minutes when I get done going through my change.. another question, does copper rot like zinc? I mean obviously it does right? Lol. I've got an 82 copper penny that's rotting like zinc. .. and what is the transition error of 82 pennies? I know that year has both copper and zinc but is there a transitional error for that year?

    Like zinc? Not really. Copper will corrode if it encounters the wrong stuff, but it doesn't keep eating itself the way zinc-under-copper does.

    What makes you think yours is copper? Its weight?

    Yes the weight

    3.1 .. I know the zinc cent has a tolerance but pretty sure its copper

    Also, how do you tell where a quarter from 1965 to 67 was minted at?

    Unfortunately, there is no way to tell which mint made
    any 1965-67 coins.

    I believe that in 1965, there was info published in the coin publications that felt that some 1965 cents minted in Denver could be identified, but this couldn't be verified, and is no longer considered valid

    The clad layers are the top and bottom, the bread part of the sandwich.
    What is showing in the OP is the inner copper core.

    The small areas of exposed copper in the rim are likely caused by the blanking process. As a blank is punched from the clad strip, it is initially cut. As the punch continues through the sheet the metal will begin to tear (understanding this characteristic also helps to verify clipped planchets)


    The torn side of the blank can have small areas of metal that smeared and stick out beyond the edge. You can see evidence of the smearing by looking at the edges of normally struck clad coins. It’s easy to find examples where one outer layer appears thicker than the other. This isn’t due to thickness variability, it’s due to the ductility of the metal and punching process. These small parts can get folded over on the rim and show the copper. Since they are thin, they usually are worn away quickly in circulation.


    So as @paddyman98 said. No added value.

    BTW: you may want to post each different coin/question as a new thread. You have multiple questions on this one and it can get confusing. You'll get better feedback if you do each separately
