Need the weight and a picture of the edge.

 

I'll get that to you tonight

 

Of course, the weight would help, but I'm leaning toward some form of post-mint damage. Note that the rim is not discolored. If it were missing the clad layer, the rim should be the same color as the rest of the coin.

 

I can see the difference. I'll get the weight on tonight and that should conclude this coins' status.

 

I'm guessing PMD, I would need weight to be sure but I'm pretty sure it's PMD.

 

The weight is in...2.28g

 

Normal weight is 2.27 gms, so it isn't missing a clad layer.

You know Chris, the more I see this coin, the more excited I get knowing you are gonna decide to send it to me one day! No seriously, that is a spectacular error! I never get tired of seeing it.

 

Thanks!

Since we get so many threads about missing clad layers, it's a good thing this is an online photo rather than a local coin club. Otherwise, I'd wear the dang thing out.

It means a lot to me because it was the first major error that I got directly from the Mint. Not bad for 68c, huh!
