<p>[QUOTE="cpm9ball, post: 2309094, member: 24633"]There are plenty of coins missing a clad layer. It's just not that common to find many of any one date/mintmark. The clad layer usually separates at the end of a roll of planchet metal, and it falls away when the planchets are cut. Half dollars would be the easiest for a Mint employee to spot after striking because of their size. It's usually when the side missing the clad layer is facing down that it is missed.
