MaxPower Valued Member United States 52 Posts	Posted 02/15/2022 3:13 pm I came across these 2 dimes yesterday. Does anyone know what the cause of their appearances would be? The first one is significantly smaller than a normal dime and it is a darker almost copper color. The second one is missing part of it and appears to have cracks in it. Thanks for looking.
