<p>[QUOTE=&quot;montynj3417, post: 5341836, member: 89220&quot;]Hi, Rob; I believe you&#039;ve come across a clad coin which has turned brown.&nbsp; The cladding on a quarter or dime, which I believe is nickel, turns brown and eventually, red, if it is a quarter or dime dating from 1965 up to the present. Left exposed to the elements or buried deeper in the ground for enough years, it will demonstrate a dull, heavy, coppery color; especially if you attempt to clean it up a little. As an avid metal detectorist, I live in a world of brown nickels, dimes and quarters.&nbsp; Rob, welcome to my world... If you have a quarter you&#039;d like to use to verify this information, bury it in your backyard for 5 or 6 years; come back, dig it up;&nbsp; brown, coppery-looking coin! Real silver coins are so much more fun. Finding a gold coin, as well the coin gods know, would be the most fun and they seldom, if ever turn brown.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
