bmason717 Valued Member United States 71 Posts	Posted 02/28/2023 6:27 pm Hey, it's me again. I have a dime that almost appears to have rainbow colors however the condition of the coin is not good. I am guessing it is due to chemicals or some other type of exposure? I am not looking to sell this as obviously it's not worth a dime! lol Report this Post to the Staff

bmason717 Valued Member United States 71 Posts	Posted 02/28/2023 9:18 pm Thanks so much... I think I will keep it as its the first one I have ever seen like that. Report this Post to the Staff
SomeGoodCents Valued Member United States 238 Posts	Posted 02/28/2023 9:25 pm Yes toning can be a plus. Keep it safe a few year and re-examine it, hopefully toning will spread and become even more attractive. Report this Post to the Staff
Dearborn Moderator United States 96123 Posts	Posted 02/28/2023 9:34 pm yes, some toning can get quite attractive, some not so much - it all depends on the environment it has been exposed to.

bmason717 Valued Member United States 71 Posts	Posted 02/28/2023 11:10 pm What is the best way to protect it? Should it be cleaned? I think I will put it away for my kids. That links shows so many different tints - wow! Report this Post to the Staff
SomeGoodCents Valued Member United States 238 Posts	Posted 03/01/2023 06:34 am No I wouldn't clean it and only handle it on the rim. Keep it in a cool dry place. I would put it in a 2x2 cardboard flip and stash it in my closet. Report this Post to the Staff
Cujohn Pillar of the Community United States 7174 Posts	Posted 03/01/2023 7:18 pm I usually don't like tone on cupronickel coins, but gotta say this looks good. And as stated above, don't do anything to it.Just put it in a 2by2. Report this Post to the Staff
