    1957 Roosevelt. Found it in local dealers junk bag and had to have it. It's definetly circulated but only a little. Sorry the pic looks like a retarded monkey took it:goofer:, but I just wanted to show the toning.

    It's a shame what some people will throw into junk bags.

    new2oldmoney You do what for money???

    Is the Toning created from heat? I am fairly new to the world of coin collecting. Should I call it a dime?lol

    Looks to me like it came from an original mint set. They tended to tone in this fashion.

    I'm gonna go with album, the Obverse is mostly dark with a very little rainbow in a few small places.

    Here's the original pic I was gonna post.
