JigsMeow New Member United States 9 Posts	Posted 09/24/2019 10:11 pm I found a 1937 Mercury dime but it is a gold color. I looked at commemorative ones but they all seem to be dated 2016, etc. Is it fake? Report this Post to the Staff

Second, this dime didn't leave the mint with this color, but could have been gold-plated or perhaps toned to a golden color. It would be helpful if you could post front and back pics of this coin. Thx.
