State quarter missing reverse clad

How probable is it that when the planchet was punched the lamination came off the one side? I don’t see a strip of single sided blank making it into the planchet punch...but then again it is possible.

Those planchets were never plated to begin with.

 

You are right, they are layered, "sandwich" as they called them, which would lessen the details more if a layer peeled off after striking.

 

I picture the end of the strip or roll that they punch the planchets from coming to the end and there is an area where the copper/nickel on one side was stretched out and disappeared. This piece is a result of the blanks being punched out from the end of that strip.

 

Well, I think I have a rare N.C. 2000 state quarter missing cladding on both the obverse and reverse. I tried to get close ups so do not at this stage have a whole coin picture. Definitely interested in your expert opinions. How can I send photos?

James, you should start your own thread in the Error Coins Forum and be sure to post photos of both sides. This thread is about 14 months old.

Do you guy's do anything to your coins before placing them in an Air-Tite? I have an improperly annealed Arkansas quarter I want to put in an Air-Tite. I'm just wondering if anything should be done to remove any possible fingerprint oils prior to putting it in.
