I've included a photo next to a regular 1966 dime. Other than the color, some letters are sharp and clear and some aren't even there. Is this environmental? uploaded/Angel195/20190115_IMG_2019 Report this Post to the Staff

I'm guessing environmental damage of some type on your "red" dime. Could be water, heat or some type of chemical reaction. Others will chime in hopefully. Report this Post to the Staff

The dime looks to have environmental damage and partial or missing letters may have been caused by a partial Grease Fill in conjunction with circulation wear. I think it is worth face value.

Angel195 New Member 5 Posts	Posted 01/15/2019 03:12 am @Spruett001 What do you mean creating a new post? Besides my introduction that I read I should do first before posting, this is my first post. Please explain. Thanks. Nevermind, I understand now. Edited by Angel195 01/15/2019 03:17 am Report this Post to the Staff
Spence Moderator United States 34426 Posts	Posted 01/15/2019 06:46 am @Angel195, first welcome to CCF. Second, I'm glad that you are so quickly getting the hang of posting here. Third, I agree that your dime has surface staining, most likely from environmental or chemical exposure. It is a spender.
