None have been found in circulation, wherever you heard that is just wrong.

No point in letting a little thing like being wrong get in the way of being right!

That's still within tolerance for a normal clad quarter. Is copper visible on the edge?

Just a small plating bubble that coincidentally looks like a 9.

Just a normal dime. If you want to confirm it yourself, try a magnet. A Canadian dime will stick, a US dime won't.

From the pictures, all I see is a badly worn, corroded, damaged cent. Often, random damage can be mistaken for all kinds of anomalies, sort of like seeing images in clouds. You can post better, close up pictures of what you are seeing, but don't get your hopes up!

So, I'll try one more time. What is your explanation of what happened to these coins?

So what is your explanation? I have dug dozens of clad coins from heavily fertilized areas that look like this. What is one of the main ingredients in fertilizer? Nitric acid. So again, you are good at disagreeing, but not so good at an explanation.

And I disagree with you Silviosi, the chart tells nothing about the rate the different metals react. If the copper reacts quicker, then the result will be as shown. Even if the copper in the copper nickel alloy reacts, the effect will be less because of the nickel in the alloy. If you disagree what is your explanation?

If it is the dime you have listed as a split planchet error, that has just been damaged by acid. The copper core of the dime reacts to the acid more than the copper nickel outer layers causing the effect.

It dissolves the copper evenly, so while the high points of the ridges get lower, so do the low points. This retains the ridges while reducing the entire copper core.

The first thing I look at is the 2, the shape and the distance from the rim. On a small date there is space enough between the 2 and the rim for another 2, on the large date the 2 is quite close to the rim. Focusing on the 2 is much easier than going by the 8.

You are on the right track if you are going to stop looking at every coin for imperfections, because almost all coins have imperfections and they almost always mean nothing. Study up on legit sites like varietyvista.com, doubleddie.com and error-ref.com. I don't know where you got the information on the nickel, but I'd stay away from there.

No need for it to touch a quarter to get stained, could have been from almost anything it came in contact with.

I think 52Raymo has better eyesight than me, squinting my eyes and twisting my head, I now agree, type 1. Maybe 1868.
