[QUOTE="davidh, post: 1234881, member: 15062"]So you're saying that the clad layers wore faster than the soft copper core. OK, following your thoughts, when the coin was minted both the soft copper core and the thin clad layers were reeded. Then with years of wear the clad layers' reeding was worn off, leaving the copper less affected, but still retaining the reeds. How is it that, with all three layers having reeds, only the two outer layers wore down, leaving the inner layer much less worn and still having reeding? That's a mighty selective wear pattern. As I see it, your theory holds up only if the original reeding was much deeper on the copper core than on the outer layers. How could that have happened?
