ok . Tonight my girl friend told me to go lay on her bed , She wanted to show me something . ...... LOL Well needless to say I was expecting to see something slitely different from what she showed me . When she came into her bedroom she had 2 hand full of coins and told me to go threw them . There was a coin in there she said didn't look rite and wanted to see if I picked it . I started looking at setting aside stuff like the 1984 Lincoln cent and found a Wis. state quarter to look at later . then about half though the coins I grabbed a 1992 Rose. Dime . Now call me crazy , stupid , or even say it cant be . BUT she had a 1992 dime and it looks to be stuck out of copper . NO lol I didnt weight it YET . And yes I will post pics. tomorrow . anyone herd of any simular ?
If you can't understand what I am saying , Don't ask me . I don't know myself

    Im thinking the coin had lain out in the dirt for a number of years. When clad coins are buried...and then rediscoverd...they are a dark brown.

    I agree with Ambro..... I have seen many that have been dug by metal detectorists that exhibit a copper color. On the other hand, if it is missing the clad layer, weighing it will provide the answer. Cheers, RickO

    Ive been metal detecting...dug up something and was pretty sure it was a large cent..

    Yep...particularly in sandy soil near a beach...but it does occur in other soils as well. Cheers, RickO

    It could be copper washed, copper sintered, struck off metal, missing clad layer, or it could be post-Mint damage.
    Change that we can believe in is that change which is 90% silver.

    << <i>It could be copper washed, copper sintered, struck off metal, missing clad layer, or it could be post-Mint damage. >>



    dog gave you the possible options. We need a photo to tell you which one, and the weight would be nice as well.
