coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 02/28/2019 1:26 pm We see these coins daily here: Metal detector finds usually. But any coin left outside will turn colors. Carry in you pocket a week with your change and the silver color will come back on the tops of the devices. Report this Post to the Staff

Pete2226 Pillar of the Community United States 3331 Posts	Posted 02/28/2019 1:39 pm It looks to me like your dime has environmental damage. Were it missing clad, weight would be less than normal. Dime weight missing one clad layer = 1.863 g +/- 0.091 g; missing two clad layers = 1.453 g +/- .161 g Report this Post to the Staff
