Flowerpower New Member United States 3 Posts	Posted 04/02/2019 9:16 pm Hello. I have a 1966 Rosevelt dime and it looks rusted. Is that possible? Edited by Flowerpower 04/02/2019 9:54 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Spence Moderator United States 34397 Posts	Posted 04/02/2019 9:25 pm @FP, first welcome to CCF. Second, yes it is possible for a dime to look rusted. For example, it may have been exposed to a chemical or the environment which has stained the surface. However, a dime cannot actually rust as it is not made from iron or steel. It would be great if you could post a picture or two of your dime.
