1979 Susan B set, missing clad?

i posted this in "What's it Worth" but it didn't get any real traction. i'm new to collecting and came across these today. it's a set of P, D, and S mint Susan B's. the one from the Philly mint is missing the clad on the back? what's this called? is it an error?

Could be you didn't get the response you expected because the Susan B dollar is not a very popular coin! Maybe you already know that, idk. The error you have is a nice one! As far as value, I would think you wouldn't get much for it and for that reason I would keep it. Susan B's are frowned upon as most collectors feel it's an unattractive coin, some say more than that. Google is your friend, please check it out!

 

missing clad layer, that's what it's called ..

 

i'm not a fan either. i paid $9 for them simply because i wanted the oddball with the clad missing

 

Looks like a missing clad layer. It's a great mint error no matter which clad coin has the issue.

 

Yes that is a great coin if the reverse clad layer is missing, and the coin has been well preserved in the packaging. It's valuable. Yes as Paddy says it's an error and a good one.

 

It's missing the clad layer on that coin. A great error to have a nicer since it's in a government issued souvenir set. Please leave as is, like don't remove it or cut the plastic.

 

you recommend leaving as is, Collecting nut?

 

Incorrect.. On a SBA I would put a value of $150.00 - $200.00

 

If it were mine I would have it attributed.

Here is an example from my collection -

 

what's an SBA? i'm new to collecting. like 1 month new.

 

Susan B. Anthony ...

 

duh. pretend i didn't ask that question

 

I don’t usually peruse the error threads. Not my area of interest and I get tired of road rash cents.... But this one is cool and I want to follow the thread. Picking up a major error like that... In a set... And for nine bucks? It just don’t get any better!

 

Yes.

If you remove from the set it's just a coin but leaving it in the set I think, is much better. It's part of the set. By talking to each TPG you may find one you can send it to that will leave it as part of a set. It's definitely interesting but as part of a set it's more so.

I would also leave it in the set. That protects the provenance.

 

another cool thing about the set is the S mint is the "filled" die variety. anyone care to see a pic?

 

The filled S is the most common I believe but I don't collect these. I have a full set but not really my thing.

 

The blob S is minor. On the 79 the clear S is the one, but I believe
that is proof only.
The missing clad is a monster. Also I am wondering if the missing clad is
ALSO near date, wide rim? Which would make it worth even more.
