<p>[QUOTE=&quot;foundinrolls, post: 597746, member: 4350&quot;]Many times, clad coins get lost, buried and then are found again by folks with metal detectors.&nbsp; The soil conditions can cause a clad coin to be turn reddish or brownish in color.&nbsp; Often that is the case.&nbsp; Usually the details will be as strong as they would be on a regular coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>That being said,&nbsp; It would be an error if the coin were struck on a copper planchet of some sort or if it was struck on a planchet that had the outer layers missing before the strike.&nbsp; On a coin of this sort,&nbsp; the details would usually be extremely weak as there isn&#039;t enough metal between the dies for the details to strike up properly.</p><p><br /></p><p>In short,&nbsp; if the details are strong,&nbsp; it is probably a discolored coin.&nbsp; If the details are relatively weak,&nbsp; it could be an error.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>The pictures didn&#039;t work and they would be a help.</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks,</p><p>Bill[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
