    Copper is a very reactive metal and can tone differently in different environments.

    Just the environment and/or temperature.

    Why?.. o_O
    The Cent sitting in a car cup holder full of spilled soda, oil from dirty hands, sweat even dried urine can change the color of copper.
    Wash your hands good after looking at coins! :yack:

    What do you think about this coin? Would this be considered an error ? Found this today , it's very nice. Screenshot_20211227-004820_Flashlight & Magnifying Glass.jpg Screenshot_20211229-200457_Flashlight & Magnifying Glass.jpg Screenshot_20211229-200443_Flashlight & Magnifying Glass.jpg

    Worn die strike on the Dime. Die Deterioration issue.
    Nothing major.

    I would have never figured that out. The coin in person is so nice and clean, with a clear eye ability to see the full band along with all the fetchers of the coin. Will I guess I will just keep it for me. Thanks for the help.

    This dime is a Min error or man made ? I don't think its man made, it's to perfect,even around the year. If this coin is an error, would you get it graded?

    Seriously? The answer is man made damage!

    Yes it is altered after it left the Mint. It was a man or a woman who did it. It doesn't matter!

    I don't think so!

    It's not a mint error of any kind.
