Nope, the 1987S isn't missing a clad layer. I would think it would be extremely rare to find a proof coin of any denomination missing a clad layer because they are all processed by hand.

It's hard enough to find a business strike missing the clad layer because the coin is so large that it would be easily spotted. Here is the 2001D I got from the Mint.

Nice coin. The color is almost the same to me but I am color blind so I see gray as pink, get blue and purple confused, green brown and black often look the same and so on. I think that may be why some of my pics are so bad.
The eye test with all the E's hid in a pattern was bad for me. The lady kept asking me which way is the e facing. I said what E. This lady was almost yelling at me then she realized it was color blind test and not everyone sees it. Ha. This should excuse my horrible distinctions and some of my 4 million questions (posts). Thanks for the help and what would be

 

Hope you don't mind me using your coin as side by side comparison cmp9ball. They look real close to me in a few places.

 

It would need to look like that in all the places. Unfortunately, that's just toning.

 

I know. I had to try though.

 

You had to try? Maybe you should buy some hand grenades!

Chris

 

I don't mind as long as you don't use the images on another site.

My" had to try remark " was to Seattlite86 cause he knows what I've put myself through the past week. Didn't mean I was trying to pass 1 over on an I decided to collect a ton of coins then learn about them so it seems.
Now the gut wrenching process of sorry but wrong , www.wrong"#;$.definitelywrong.com, Now if I could only just collect my errors on what I thought were errors I would be on top.

I took random pics of coins that I found doing my coin roll hunting the other day and was looking for a picture of a door and saw doubled die on a coin I didn't even look at yet. I will start a new thread with it in a few min if interested in helping throw darts at my bubble. This one really stands out so I think its legit. 1969 Kennedy I believe it was.
Thanks for posts.

 

Yeah, I don't see any missing clad layer either but the cameo is so nice they almost look like the silver issue.

Great find! Why doesn't stuff like that happen to me. Heh.

 

What's interesting I find about this error is this un-plated blank that was cut at the end of the strip wasn't rejected but found its way to the coin press. My un-plated Kennedy blanks were caught before they got to the press.

 

Just to clarify, once a blank goes to the upsetting mill, it becomes a planchet which then goes to the coining chamber. A blank does not have an upset rim.

What you're saying doesn't make sense. If "your blanks were caught" before they got to the coining chamber, how did you get them? Do they have an upset rim or not?

Error , no error, error, no error. Ha. I have it put in my " not worthy of hard plastic but not going to dump pile" bin.
Just found a crazy die clash and its driving me crazy. I've had this thing flipped in every direction possible and angles and can't tell you 100% what it is. I see tons of letters and major lines. Looks like a quarter reverse in the background and field. Any tips on how to photo a clash where others can view on here?

 

No, there's no upset rim. I'll dig out some pictures I got when I get over to my other computer where they're stored and show them here. I don't know how mine got into circulating coinage, but they evidently did. These "coppers" happen at the end of the strip that missed the plating. When the strip is cut, they're copper blanks. I believe that's the point mine got away from them. I need time but I'll tag you when I get my pictures here and we can evaluate them, then.

 

Thanks! I'm interested in seeing them.

Chris

 

@cpm9ball & @Seattlite86...

Here's an old photo of the copper strip at the Denver Mint from which these blanks are cut after the strip is plated. Here's one of my copper blanks. I have a couple of these blanks.

PS: I believe the strip is plated one side at a time, but I'm not exactly sure of that. Chris, what does the other side of yours look like? Maybe we can figure it out.

 

So are you thinking mine could be layer issue? Or are you not referring to mine?

 

I'm referring to Chris', Rick. Yours just look like proofs with different degrees of wear.
