Is this a mint error, Front Clad missing? Bicentennial Quater

Thanks for all the help figuring this out, I'm learning a lot! And it took some grime off but nothing noticeable to the coins coloring I even rubbed pretty hard with a cloth.

A typical missing clad error involves a clad layer popping off after blanking and will weigh 4.67 grams (a clad layer weighs 1 gram). This coin is still significantly underweight. It likely represents a rarer form of clad error that can be called an "end of strip/exposed copper core strip" error. This blank probably came from the leading or trailing end of the strip, from an area where one clad strip ran out prematurely. This area was probably thinner than normal as a result of the taper that frequently characterizes this portion of the strip. Most such errors do feature an obvious taper, but this appears to be an exception. In any event, it's much rarer and more valuable than a standard missing clad error, especially since it's bicentennial.

And for God's sake, stop rubbing your coins. You'll ruin the surface.

 

Whoa thanks for the info reading up on them now , and yea the rubbing was due to my all to hastily tests to see what was going on with this one.


Thanks again
