Matt2727 Valued Member United States 219 Posts	Posted 02/13/2017 6:50 pm Hello all, The pictures don't really show but the brown color of the coin extends to the rims as well Is this dime truly missing it's clad layer? I've tried lightly brushing the coin to see if the brown color was from dirt but I was unsuccessful, so to me it looks like this is a slightly circulated dime missing a clad layer. Am I correct to assume this? If so any ideas on grade or value? Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 02/13/2017 8:34 pm I agree. The is an outdoor find. Any hind of silver on the higher areas show where the color wore off. It it were a missing clad, this would not happen as the copper planchet is there, not the silver cladding. (note 3:00 on the reverse) Edited by coop 02/13/2017 8:35 pm Report this Post to the Staff
