Question about NCS

[bartlesvilleok]

Would NCS be able to help this coin and would it be worth sending to them?

Can't say. Is that missing the clad layer and some kind of rim break?

 

You might want to post this on "Ask NCS".

hard to tell from the photos?

 

missing clad layer?

 

even foreign substance on the coin?? corrosion?

Struck on split planchet?

With it only being 5.0 grams I am thinking that yes missing clad layer but this had other things going on with it also. Sorry for the picture, it is a scan both my cameras (not that I can ever take a good photo) are loaned out ATM

It looks like a as-struck split-planchet error to me. I doubt NCS could do anything to address the corrosion issues, however. The error looks genuine, and were this a problem-free coin, value might justify the cost of certification. But as-is, it seems more like a coin you'd throw on eBay.

Is the copper side corroded or just heavily toned? Looks like an interesting error. Anyone know what this type of error is worth?

I've seen missing clad layers on the state quarters go for high money but I don't think the eagle back quarters go for anywhere near as much. I would also expect it to be even lower due to the discoloration/corrosion. I'm not sure it would be worth th money to pay for conservation and grading. I'm afraid it might cost a significant percentage of the value of the coin. If you have a hundred dollar coin and you spend $45 for shipping and insurance, conservation, grading, and then shipping and insurance back, you still have a hundred dollar coin afterward.
