I won&#039;t say that it is impossible to have a clad quarter with an improperly mixed alloy. But I will say that it would look nothing like the coin you posted.</p><p>Another woodie with colorful toning.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1140050[/ATTACH]</p><p>I wish you could post some better photos of your coin that are clear. Your I pad should do just fine. put the quarter on a stable platform. get as close as you can to the coin so that it fills the screen with out being blurry and take the photo. do not use the magnification feature. it will distort and look pixelated when you crop the coin. when you upload the photo before posting Reply.
