Clad coins have copper and nickel in the middle. They were made in the US after 1964. 1964 was the last year that the US made silver-alloy currency. I don't know what uc means, but unc is short for uncirculated, which means the coin is new, never used.

Does a clad coin stick to a magnet?
"clad" coins with little or no silver contentCorrectionIt depends on what the coin is made of. US clad coins are mostly copper, with a small amount of nickel to give them a silvery color. While pure nickel does stick to a magnet there's so much copper (about 92% overall) that the coins don't stick. Some German coins (pre-euro) were made of steel clad with cupronickel, and these coins did stick to magnets.

Do clad quarters have silver and how do you tell?
No, clad is used in the coin collecting community talking about the Copper and Nickel "sandwich" current, non-silver, coins have. So a clad quarter by definition would not have any silver because a clad quarter is a quarter with no silver. However, quarters were made of silver before 1965 so any quarter dated 1964 and earlier contains 90% silver, but those coins would not be considered "clad".
