I collect mainly Canadian coins, and I came across this dime yesterday that looked different. Initially it was the colour that stood out to me as it looked like a sort of darker grey/gunmetal. It says 2019, and aside from that I couldn't really notice much difference in the details of the coin. I've seen fake/counterfeit coins before and it didn't look obviously fake (in the details). When I put the darker coin against a regular dime, it looks like the darker coin is slightly thinner. Is it just a really well done fake (ignoring the colour), is it a newer dime, did it come out weird by mistake, or is it something else? When I saw it I knew I had to come here and ask! What do you guys think? (The dime in question is on the left in the close up pictures) Report this Post to the Staff

I don't study the dimes of Canada but my guess is it is normal and that since 2003, the dies have been re-worked which would explain a bit sharper design. Report this Post to the Staff
