<p>[QUOTE="NewCollectorRick, post: 2644428, member: 84576"]Hello all. I am newish to cointalk but have not had much time to do any hunting lately but did come across these 2 coins today. Not sure if they are anything special but still curious about a few things. Any help would be awesome. </p><p>1. The 1996 p Mercury Dime with the discoloring. Is this what I have seen people call a rainbow? If so what causes it and is it worth holding on to or nothing special. I have also been keeping my eye out for ft and fb dimes. Is this a full torch or full band? The torch looks pretty solid if I am looking at the correct lines they are referring to.
