I just found this in a coin roll. Is it missing a clad layer or PMD? It doesn't have a shiny side of all and I thought that the ones I seen have a shiny side if they're missing a clad layer. It's look to be missing it to me .I need to weigh it. Looking for my scale. Rachel
If it were struck on a coin with the outer clad layer missing, the copper side would have the same color as a copper cent. This quarter has 'environmentally damaged' surfaces - PMD. There is no copper color showing on either side of this quarter.
As mentioned - Environmental Damage Exposure to the elements. I find hundreds of clad coins such as yours Metal Detecting
Also.. Remember this, A Missing Clad Layer usually just involves just 1 side if a Clad coin. Here are examples from my collection -
