Something is wrong with my Sacajawea dollar. It's not gold... it's brass. Maybe it's misdoing a clad layer, maybe it didn't bond or wasn't heated to the right temperature... he's an excert I found while researching. And any opinions or advice would be great. Thank you

2000 P Goodacre Presentation Sacagawea Dollar - Type One (unburnished) Circulation Strikes: 5,000 A little over 2% of the Goodacre Sacagawea's appear to be "unburnished." Sacagawea obverse designer, Glenna Goodacre, had 5,000 Sacagawea Dollars presented to her by the US Mint for of her design. How to Detect: Specially prepared and polished planchets, new die pair, high striking pressure, special handling, resulting in very few contact marks. Approximate Value: $600 to $1000
To me, I think unburnished means deliberately not cladded, polished, or finished, to give it a special look. Or being lazy....
