2003 P Maine missing clad on both sides

Hey, I've been trying to figure out what's going on with this quarter. I'm not sure if it's just weathered or is it missing clad on both sides? I don't know. Tried doing some research but didn't get far. Any thoughts?

I don’t think so... Environmental damage...

 

Environmental Toning Damage.
Here are examples from my Metal Detecting finds

 

Thanks. I've never seen one colored before but looks cool imo

 

Thay usually occurs just on one side of a clad coin.
Here are examples from my collection..
It could be either the Obverse or Reverse side -

 

ED for short. I would say ET but I don't want anyone to think I mean the movie star. Lol Yes it's environmental damage.

 

Clad and Nickels are made of Cupro-Nickel. The Copper is affected by the elements and harsh chemicals.

 

Paddy is right... missing clad only occurs on one side...

that’s a acronym for other issues too...

 

Thanks

 

If only I had Paddyman's NGC filing fees for error and damage coins I'd have all three of those new metal detectors and some coffee money! LOL

 

Yeah but I didn't want to go there.

 

I think you could cover a gymnasium floor with all the coins you have found or would it be a football field?
