<p>[QUOTE=&quot;VistaCruiser69, post: 3710534, member: 107016&quot;]Hi all,</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I&#039;m new to this forum.&nbsp; Actually this is my very first post.&nbsp; I started collecting coins when I was a kid.&nbsp; First was foreign coins, then added 1964 and older American coins to my collection.&nbsp; It wasn&#039;t until roughly five years ago when I realized that there was such a thing as error coins.&nbsp; I&#039;ve recently started looking for those type of coins as well as the older ones.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>In 2001, I cracked open a roll of quarters that I picked up at the store.&nbsp; Not sure if the store had got them from the bank directly or if someone gave the roll to them in exchange for paper currency.&nbsp; Anyways, when I removed all of the quarters, one stood out from the rest.&nbsp; It was a different color completely compared to the rest of the quarters.&nbsp; I figured someone painted or plated it, but just for fun, I decided to hang onto it. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Fast forward to roughly 2017, I was cleaning out some things at home and ran across the quarter for the first time since I first found it in 2001.&nbsp; I was surprised because I had completely forgot about it.&nbsp; But since I was just recently aware of error coins, I did a little research on-line and learned that there&#039;s such a thing as missing clad errors. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>So now the big questions are, is this a real example of missing clad? How is clad applied to coins at the mint?&nbsp; How can I test it to see if it&#039;s really missing clad or if it&#039;s bogus?&nbsp; I have an electronic gram scale and this quarter is just slightly lighter then one of the same year, make and model.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
