<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Kentucky, post: 2891051, member: 33176&quot;]I did some looking too and found little agreement.&nbsp; Consider &quot;Gold Clad&quot; usually represents a piece that is made from a bar of base metal that is first gold coated and then drawn to a thinner form used for the piece.&nbsp; In coins, after thinking about it, dimes and quarters are clad - struck from planchets that are a sandwich of a metal contained between two sheets of CuNi...cents are struck from planchets that are struck from zinc and then plated with copper.&nbsp; So, actually I agree with you, but the terms are used interchangeably.&nbsp; Cents are uniformly copper on the outside...dimes and quarters are copper on the edges.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
