Susan B error?

[twiasp]

Found this from a teller a few days ago, she had about 20 Susan B's so figured why not buy them. Is this an error i assume, if so is it very rare? Thanks for any info.

It would help if you told us what you are seeing.

That the front is nickel/silver colored and the back is not, the reverse is just copper colored.

Hard to tell. How defined and sharp is the design on the reverse? Also can you weigh it?

 

[twiasp]

The design on the reverse looks normal, no unusual visible abrasion marks even with a 10x loop. I cannot weight it as I have no scale. Even as evidenced on the side of the coin it, it just looks like maybe a missing clad layer or lamination error, not sure which.

You will need to weigh the coin on a gram scale. Your example looks like a missing clad layer. If it is a bonding issue, then it will weigh less. If it weighs the same as a normal dollar, then it is a rolling issue. Either way, you will need better pictures of all three sides of the coin (Obverse,Reverse,Side). Try and focus on the coin itself and not the background.
