that happens when the coin has remained in a DRY SOIL for a long period, I have dug up similar Quarters and Dimes to this a few times.

Lol .... Well thanks a lot guys . All these are some really great guesses . But can anyone actually share photos or provide supporting facts of what they are actually saying because so far I see alot of great different guesses but no actual supporting facts and forgive me for being honest but I'm looking for supporting facts of this mysterious flat Grey finish Dime not responses like it's earth damage when it clearly has a even tone guys or that happens when a coin stays in dirt a really long time. In other words the tone of the coin is even like it was the product of a minting error or intentionally made this way not environmental damage . Theres a big difference .  Edited by Hardfinds80

Just go to the bank and buy a box of dimes. You will find probably a dozen dimes that look just like the one you have. Nothing special. I see these all the time when coin roll hunting. If you feel strongly to the contrary, I strongly encourage you to send your dime in for certification and grading. Would be a good educational experience.

What I'm seeing in those pictures isn't even. I see a bit of splochiness, especially on the reverse. I told you exactly where you can view images of coins similar to your. Do a simple google search for environmental damage. It's easy to see the hard evidence when you know what to look for. 5 of us in this thread basically said the same thing. So now search for it.

And it's just a logical theroy biokemist6 not an argument ... Infact I tend to try and use a little common sense whenever I receive several different answers from Experts in the coin community . Because I'm no expert myself . lol

And 5 people haven't provided one single picture of a even toned flat grey environmental damaged Dime . But hey ElonU. your the expert not me and for the record I did research your observations and saw nothing of the sort as I scrolled through those hundreds of environmental damaged dimes sorry

Oh and it is entirely a flat grey even tone on the front and back of the coin and there are zero splotches nowhere on the coin which is why I decided to post the coin in the first place . So you may want to clean your screen ElonU

Hardfinds80, I see you are using our optimizer. Please use the crop function before you do anything else. I just cropped most of the images you've uploaded since you've been here. Ton of wasted space on most of them.

Well thank you very much for that important infomation concerning the amount of waisted space that I'm using Mr.Bobby131313.... Infact the only reason that I have not cropped any of my photos before as you pointed out is because I clearly wasnt aware that they needed to cropped before using optimizer or before sharing the photos . So it might be best to make a clear note for all new members so that way there won't be any misunderstanding with using the optimizer wouldn't you agree ?

Ok great thanks ... And could you be sure to make a note for cropping photos before sharing so that it won't feel like members are being called out for errors ?

It's not a big deal, it was just a friendly reminder. What do you mean "make a note about cropping photos?" I mean it's clear on the image tutorial page and the image optimizer page, not sure what you mean. |
