tropicalbats Pillar of the Community United States 6108 Posts	Posted 04/24/2023 12:06 pm Just a coin that showed up in a roll of clad dimes. Could be environmental and could be an annealing issue. Just looks more light coppery color like an annealing issue than most of the environmental issues I've seen. 1988-P Roosevelt dime - coppery color Report this Post to the Staff

Dearborn Moderator United States 94786 Posts	Posted 04/24/2023 6:12 pm I'm thinking toning as well -you can see some of the silvery cladding through the toning. Collecting since 1972.

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 04/25/2023 11:41 am The edge of the coin is showing a color and areas where the color was removed, showing the normal color of the coin. Thus it is not a copper mix issue. (The higher areas are affected first when this copper color is removed from the coin, showing the real planchet color. Report this Post to the Staff
