    Hello. I have this quarter it is thin like a dime. Was wondering why. Thin planchet, wrong planchet? It weighs 3.43 grams. 20180731_212006.jpg

    Damaged. Probably Acid that eroded the clad layer.. Not a mint error

    How come every post now is wrong planchet or missing clad layer?
    If it were not damaged, and was thin (in new condition) then it could be
    a thinly rolled planchet or wrong stock. But this coin is probably just damaged.
