1997 P Kennedy Half Dollar Possibly Missing Clad Layer?

Hey Guys, looking for some advice on this one, picked up a box today and pulled this one out. It seems to be missing a clad layer, possibly damaged, I say that because I see traces of what might have been a clad layer at some point, I've just never seen one like this. Its all copper all around besides a few spots on the rim. I'm not an expert so I would love some opinions. Thanks,


Steve

Sorry but no... It is all environmental damage that affected the Clad Layer

 

Figured that might be the case, had to ask though.

 

@cpm9ball show him a true Kennedy Missing Clad layer and I will show him my examples

 

Missing Clad layer usually only happens on one side of a Clad Coin. Here are a few examples from my collection -

The other side of these coins look normal.

Here you go, Stephen! I found this one in a $100 Mixed 2001 P&D bag that I bought from the US Mint. It is one of only two known for that year, and it cost me a whopping 68c.

Thats beautiful, hope to find one some day.

 

Compare your coin to a genuine clad layer missing.

 

You are kind of late their buddy!
