Jes2nd New Member United States 20 Posts	Posted 01/12/2021 01:17 am I have a 1981 D mark dime that appears to be copper. I was needing to know if this is a error coin or just because of age, toning, environment? Please help with this. Also are the letters under the neck normal? Report this Post to the Staff

Your coin photography is good, but it is a bit blurry and needs to be focused a little more, please. Not a mint error; post mint damage ( PMD).

Off-metal or missing-clad strikes won't have the correct mass.
