<p>[QUOTE=&quot;JCro57, post: 3134327, member: 92083&quot;]I think I am going to go with that it is in fact a partial clad layer, and not simply a lamination. I based this on the error-ref definition, a look at slabbed/labeled examples on Heritage, and also examples on Jon Sullivan&#039;s website which is where I saw the 25c SC piece posted here).</p><p><br /></p><p>There are those where the strike occurs before the clad layer comes off, and those that come off post-strike. Details are sharper when the coin is struck after the layer comes off, and weaker when the clad layer comes off after the strike.</p><p><br /></p><p>For my posted coin, the copper core is exposed because the silver-colored clad layer is gone, and very likely came off after strike. Whether it was gone before or after strike I think is irrelevant.</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks to everyone for chiming in, and feel free to keep them coming. Anyone have a comment about its stated grade?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
