<p>[QUOTE=&quot;jubabeast, post: 1111650, member: 29274&quot;]I&#039;m pretty sure this 1965 Roosevelt dime didn&#039;t come from the mint this way...interesting copper shades. In the accompanying image, the obverse image is out of focus and I was too lazy to reshoot it, but the reverse is crisp. However, both images show the dimes unusual tone and coloring. I&#039;m wondering if anyone has information as to what kind of vapor or chemical would create this. It takes quite high magnification to verify that the dime is bi-metal, you can only see it on the ridges where the coin&#039;s worn a little. It almost looked copper enough to be a copper dime, but not quite...</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>It&#039;s the first silver or silver-clad coin I&#039;ve seen like this and got me wondering if anyone has ideas as to what happened?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
