Kirk4220 New Member United States 1 Posts	Posted 06/30/2022 03:29 am I found this dime on the ground it appears to be reddish brown. Is it because of the weather? Report this Post to the Staff

lcutler Pillar of the Community United States 1658 Posts	Posted 06/30/2022 04:27 am Yes, it is. If left in or on the ground for long enough clad coins will always take on this appearance. Metal detectorists often put common clad coins they find in a tumbler to clean them up enough to cash them in. Oh, welcome to the forum!

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 06/30/2022 3:37 pm Note the light colored metal on your coin? That is showing where the coating is wearing off of the coin. Eventually the whole coin will be the original color, but will always look dull. Just a spender. Report this Post to the Staff
