Well I got this dime that looks just like a penny and I can't quit thinking about it. Is there anything special about this dime? Or is it simply discoloration from age and wear?

NumisRob Bedrock of the Community United Kingdom 17947 Posts	Posted 06/03/2024 04:06 am Hello and We get quite a few of these posted on the forum and they are almost invariably normal dimes that have suffered environmental damage, It may have been buried in soil and dug up by a metal detectorist, or perhaps it spent some time in a fountain or 'wishing well'. Cupro-nickel coins exposed to these conditions often turn dark brown. My Trade List: https://goccf.com/t/194596 My Wants List: https://goccf.com/t/191710 Report this Post to the Staff

Buffalopickle New Member United States 2 Posts	Posted 06/03/2024 04:43 am Thank you for that! It just looks so much like a penny (the picture didn't capture the color well) I had to know. I've seen them turned black but never like this. It's been put up in my closet forever I finally found where to ask about it. I really appreciate any info I can get so again Thank you!
