    Help. i have a 1966 completely dark chocolate brown looking quarter. it is dark brown on both obverse and reverse sides. the side (rim) does not have the silver/copper layers like regular quarters do. i believe it's called a missing clad layer quarter. am i right? also, what would it be worth if i sold it?
    here's a few pictures. i took two front pic's of the same coin with different back grounds so you can see how intense brown this quarter is. also i included a picture of the side showing no silver/copper layer.
    thank you so much in advance for all your help.

    twenty five cents. I'm afraid it just looks like a discolored quarter to me. if you really think it may be a quarter that is missing the clad layers, get an accurate weight on it an get back to use if it weighs around four to four and a half grams.

    Hi,

    It's easy to tell that the coin has been discolored. It was probably buried and found by a person with a metal detector.

    Thanks,
    Bill

    This is just discoloration that's all. here's what a missing clad layer looks like.

    looks like a dug up quarter out of the ground - alot of coins get that way if they are in a ground for a long time.

    i bet if you rubbed the edge of the quarter you would see the clad layers underneath the darken'd surface

    Too heavy to be missing the clad layers.
