Seems to be some sort of brownish copper/bronze like plating only the reverse of the coin. It is also chipping away as you can see. Report this Post to the Staff

cdncoinfinder New Member Canada 2 Posts	Posted 04/27/2025 09:46 am Sure. I hope these are clearer, better pictures? 1999 Canadian dime with brownish copper/bronze-like plating only the reverse of the coin. Chipping away a bit too. Report this Post to the Staff

JimmyD Bedrock of the Community Canada 21580 Posts	Posted 04/28/2025 11:47 am Can't be a plating issue, the 1999 dime was made of nickel. It was year 2001 that the dime was changed to multi plated steel. Edited by JimmyD 04/28/2025 1:08 pm Report this Post to the Staff
