ITguy007 New Member Canada 1 Posts	Posted 11/26/2022 4:36 pm 1997 P Mint Dime with possible embedded copper error on reverse. Any ideas what this could be? Its not dirt. I don't have a microscope to check it as of now. Report this Post to the Staff

Spence Moderator United States 26148 Posts	Posted 11/26/2022 5:39 pm @itg, first welcome to CCF. Second, I understand that you are sure that it isn't dirt, but are you sure that during circulation, something else hasn't just been "smushed" onto the surface of this dime? Those two copper-colored spots are located on high points in the design, so it seems possible that they were added after this coin left the mint.
