spru Bedrock of the Community United States 12477 Posts	Posted 04/12/2017 02:29 am I'm not sure what you're asking. It looks to be a completely normal 2015 Roosevelt dime.

JJb2123 New Member United States 43 Posts	Posted 04/12/2017 02:37 am See, it's brown its not anything like on the web I've search and it's not damaged it doesn't even have a scratch so my question is what could make it be brown and all that I mean it's kind of obvious that it's not your normal Jefferson Dime.

Biedercoins Pillar of the Community United States 1602 Posts	Posted 04/12/2017 05:32 am It's most likely spent some time in the ground. Clad coins, when in contact with soil, like to turn these deep shade of brown. I've got a couple dimes and a quarter that are just this color. Metal detectorists confirm this.

Oijogja Pillar of the Community United States 715 Posts	Posted 04/12/2017 08:00 am Hi jjb2123, the most likely explanations are that the coin has either suffered environmental damage as Biedercoins mentioned, or, as John1 is probably trying to ascertain, the coin is missing its clad layers and just ended up struck on the copper core. I'm leaning toward environmental damage on this one. Better pictures, if you can get some, would help us figure this out, especially if you want opinions on the grade of the coin. For future reference, the subforum for modern varieties and errors is a good place to ask questions like this so that it receives proper attention from folks who are really into that. Here's the link: http://goccf.com/f/5 Hope that helps, and welcome to the forum. =) Report this Post to the Staff
nfine Pillar of the Community United States 3471 Posts	Posted 04/12/2017 08:04 am 2.3 grams is normal weight for a dime, unlikely the outer clad layer is missing. Report this Post to the Staff
JJb2123 New Member United States 43 Posts	Posted 04/12/2017 08:36 am Sorry guys but I'm with (nfine) on this one because of the weight and the guys from my local coin shops agree that this Dime is not damaged but they can't quite put a finger on it. But I have some more pictures il post in a few. Report this Post to the Staff
John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 04/12/2017 10:26 am If it was missing both obverse and reverse clad it would weigh noticeably less. A pic of the edge might help some. John1 Report this Post to the Staff

scurry64 Pillar of the Community United States 900 Posts	Posted 04/12/2017 1:07 pm There are some very knowledgeable folks giving you the benefit of their experience on your Jefferson dime, who bears a striking resemblance to Franklin Roosevelt by the way. Sure, they're not always right but in this case I think they've come up with the most likely scenario to explain your coin. Edited by scurry64 04/12/2017 1:08 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Alex12780 Valued Member United States 344 Posts	Posted 05/13/2017 9:28 pm I've put coins in the oven to see what would happen to them and they usually turn out to be this color. Perhaps that's what happened to yours? Report this Post to the Staff
