Hmmmm... I may be the reason for those colors! I bought a nice looking UNC out of a junk box, that I put in a flip, wrapped in an envelope and stuffed in my shirt pocket... Later, when I got home, I found a party going on in the backyard around the pool. To make a long story short, I went into the pool with the oldest girls boyfriend during a wrestling match. The next morning (after sobering up), I emptied my pockets and rinsed the chlorine off of the coin and put it on a window sill to dry. Two days later, it had some interesting toning and looked much like the coin you just bought, if not quite as intense. Then again this was 5 years ago too. Now if only my wallet, license and other things that got dunked that evening turned out to be so good looking I would be happy~ Rick

1836 Capped Liberty dime. My oldest US detecting find so far. I dig almost every signal I get for the most part. Go figure...

hmmm.......maybe i can get it slabbed and have the 'Rick's drunken pool party pedigree' on it! the coin toned in the natural course of you being dunked in the pool, so can that be considered NT?
