My pictures have not been the best here and I am trying to practice on my photo skills. Anyways this particular coin has a very matte finish like a silver finish and at the top and bottom it looks like silver and in the middle is a small ring of what looks like copper. I will try my best at pics.
All the others look like most other coins silver color then a copper/brass color, and this coin has obviously top and bottom same color and the middle is obviously different . I will post pics of the front and back as it looks like silver but nothing close to a regular 80 Susan.
These coins and I have at least a hundred they have top silver and bottom copper. So how can a coin have top silver and bottom and middle copper?
Brian... The Susan B is a copper core clad in copper-nickel. It is a "clad" coin. So you will see a silver-color copper-nickel obverse and reverse and see the copper core at the rim. From: https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces3548.html Many coins, such as quarters and dimes are made this way after 1964. ~Rob
A silver coin really stands out when compared to a clad coin as is demonstrated in this picture of a silver coin in a roll... Not my picture (found in image search)... ~Rob
I’m saying it’s a 1980 Susan B Anthony dollar I’m asking why does it have silver on both top and bottom as most coins it’s half & half . That’s all.
I am really confused. All US copper nickel clad coins have the outer layers silver colored with the center copper. What is different about this one?
