The title says it all it looks like copper in color but is a dime. Here are the pics. Report this Post to the Staff

CaptainFwiffo Pillar of the Community United States 4132 Posts	Posted 09/04/2011 7:52 pm The pictures are not clear enough to say anything. Corrosion or oxidation can make a clad coin like a dime look surprisingly like copper. There is an error where a clad coin can be missing one of its clad layers, but almost always it's just corrosion or oxidation. Report this Post to the Staff
NYNeil New Member United States 16 Posts	Posted 09/04/2011 8:00 pm Ahh thanks a bunch for the response. I would put money on it not being missing one of its layers :P Who knows. I do need to find a better camera to get better pictures I thought this 12 megapixel camera would be enough I guess not. Report this Post to the Staff

NYNeil New Member United States 16 Posts	Posted 09/04/2011 9:39 pm Yeah I did see that I couldnt get it to take a better picture but after retrying I got slightly better. Here they are. Best I can do with my current camera. ` ` ` ` Edited by NYNeil 09/04/2011 9:39 pm Report this Post to the Staff

NYNeil New Member United States 16 Posts	Posted 09/04/2011 9:58 pm Sorry for "wasting" your time guys heh. I just wanted to be sure it wasnt something unique before I sold it in a lot of coins or something. Report this Post to the Staff
merclover Bedrock of the Community United States 10635 Posts	Posted 09/04/2011 10:12 pm Corrosion or oxidation. Worth 10 cents. If you're serious about collecting coins, you'll want to pick up "A Guide Book of United States coins 2012" by R.S. Yeoman, aka "the Red Book." Les Report this Post to the Staff
