ctguy Valued Member United States 95 Posts	Posted 07/22/2013 1:52 pm I had some extra time on my hands this weekend so was able to take pics of some coins I have been wanting to post. This one is a 1999 P brown dime 2.25g. Any idea why the color? It's not a dug dime other than a few dings it's a clean dime no pitting or signs it's been buried. Sorry if I take too many pics, sometimes it looks like the same pic but with a subtle light change I'm still working out the bugs on how to do this efficiently and with a bit of quality. I have sooo many to still look at and photograph if they look like something worthwhile to post. As always thanks for looking and lending an opinion. Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 07/22/2013 6:02 pm I got an uncirculated roll of 1955-S cents that someone dipped into soapy water and dried them with a candle. Ruined them all giving them different colors. Blue/yellow and different tones. This may have been what happened to this coin? There are other things people do to coins to change the appearance. Was not minted this way. Report this Post to the Staff
