AzNoob New Member United States 8 Posts	Posted 12/07/2020 7:44 pm I found a 1967 dime at work tonite that seems silver. Solid silver edge, even sounds silver. It's pretty beat up but still curious. Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 12/07/2020 9:40 pm Well, I got a lot of answers/images ready for questions, that no one has asked yet. LOL This is a quarter, but I saw the same thing on your dime, plus the paint added. Report this Post to the Staff
