1bamkim New Member United States 1 Posts	Posted 12/12/2024 7:09 pm I have been on Facebook coin collecting pages I decided I would request your opinions here. I have a 1965 Roosevelt dime with no copper core the weight is only 2.35 however I have done a bleach test where I dropped a small amount of bleach to see if it oxidizes and turns dark behind his head. it did. I tried on a clad dime the bleach does nothing. The coin has a gold overtone to it. I was going to let pawn shop test it but they would have to scrape the coin. What now?

Dearborn Moderator United States 94761 Posts	Posted 12/12/2024 7:33 pm your images are a bit blurry and hard to see details. If this is a 1965 silver coin and you just dropped bleach on it , you may have reduced any inherent value. However, this coin looks like the rims were sanded flat on the reverse. it is possible that this was silver plated after it left the mint? Collecting since 1972.

No, they would use an XRF scanner on it. Quote: it is possible that this was silver plated after it left the mint? That's what it looks like to me too. The high points seem to be a different color than the fields. That suggests that it was plated and then ended up in circulation, and the plating was worn off of the devices. If it were 90% silver, it would not be so shiny in that condition. As for the rims, perhaps it was in a bezel?

Brandmeister Pillar of the Community United States 6454 Posts	Posted 12/12/2024 10:24 pm A pawn shop that uses the scrape plus acid test is not adequate for a potentially rare coin. You want a true coin shop that has XRF equipment, which does no damage to the coin. Please don't put any more corrosive substances on the coin, including cleaning agents.
