[QUOTE="Gunmetal, post: 2649173, member: 74584"]Normally I wouldn't bother anyone about a brown dime...However I'd like to get some opinions on this 2005 P dime a coworker found and wanted me to take a look at. [ATTACH]585745[/ATTACH] What struck my curiosity was the appearance of copper color on the surface, particularly on the reverse. I couldn't see a fleck of gray/silver nickel anywhere on the dime when I looked at with a loupe. It has a normal weight at 2.26 grams. I'm thinking if it's worth more than ten cents it would be a copper wash/improperly annealed planchet error. Looking at it some more since last night, I'm starting to lean towards it being tarnished/toned by dirt or chemicals, but I'd like to have some more experienced, knowledgable error collectors' opinions on it. Worst case scenario is that I learn more about what [I][B]not[/B][/I] to look for in rolls and change. Hope I'm not wasting anyone's time with this.
