[QUOTE="ebenbrooks, post: 559659, member: 18086"]I don't collect Susan B's, but I use them and other dollar coins when I go to Renaissance Faires and such (helps to lend a period atmosphere). Anyway, yesterday I happened to be looking at my small pile of them when I noticed something very strange. There was a 1979 Susan B., but it was a brassy color, like a Sac dollar. I inspected it more closely, and discovered that a) it actually wasn't exactly the same color as a Sac dollar, but more 'coppery' than 'brassy', and b) the edge coloring was the reverse of the other Susan B's I had--that is, the silvery stripe was in the middle, between two coppery stripes, rather than the other way around. Is it possible that I have a 'mis-clad' coin? That is, the metals got reversed somehow? And if so...it is worth anything?[/QUOTE]
