<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Clueless in Kentucky, post: 2901013, member: 90945&quot;]I dumped a bunch of coins into my credit union&#039;s coin counter and sifting through the rejected coins, among the foreign and damaged coins I found a 2017 P [ATTACH=full]698781[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]698782[/ATTACH] dime that appeared copper in color--though not quite as richly copper as a penny--and was noticeably lighter, presumably the basis on which it was rejected. The tails side appears normal.</p><p><br /></p><p>I know nothing about coins so forgive me if this is a dumb question. And I do have a coin store(?) nearby but I wanted to go there armed with at least a little bit of knowledge.</p><p><br /></p><p>How does this happen? It seems especially surprising given that it is a new coin...in terms of the likelihood of damage from a chemical solvent or whatnot...but what do I know? Is it worth anything or just the result of something random post-mint?</p><p><br /></p><p>Thank you for your help.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
