[QUOTE="Clawcoins, post: 3703530, member: 77814"]Someone who drank green beer pee'd on it. ask yourself a question. If the DIME is made out of metal, then how does it turn green? modern dimes are 91.67% Copper - 8.33% Nickel. look up what happens to both of those metals over time when exposed to the environment (like verdigris) . Also, who put the dime in the drawer; what did they do to the dime from the time it was minted (and they rec'd it directly from the mint right ?) to the time they put it in the drawer. Of course, that's just environmental damage. If it's moldy from something, that is something else. If someone exposed it to something else, then that's another damage thing. If your lights have a green hue ... well ... maybe post a few pictures of the coin front and back to help avoid all the speculation ?[/QUOTE]
