<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mikediamond, post: 2570368, member: 1859&quot;]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).&nbsp; This coin is still significantly underweight.&nbsp; It likely represents a rarer form of clad error that can be called an &quot;end of strip/exposed copper core strip&quot; error.&nbsp; This blank probably came from the leading or trailing end of the strip, from an area where one clad strip ran out prematurely.&nbsp; This area was probably thinner than normal as a result of the taper that frequently characterizes this portion of the strip.&nbsp; Most such errors do feature an obvious taper, but this appears to be an exception.&nbsp; In any event, it&#039;s much rarer and more valuable than a standard missing clad error, especially since it&#039;s bicentennial.</p><p><br /></p><p>And for God&#039;s sake, stop rubbing your coins.&nbsp; You&#039;ll ruin the surface.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
