Please help identify what happened here thanks in advance.
If the silver colored nickel alloy layer was missing you'd see copper. Looks like exposure to a chemical from what I can make out.
Great transactions with oih82w8, JasonGaming, Moose1913.
If it’s missing the silver layer, why does it look silver?
I agree with chemical exposure.
Laying on the road in chemicals is my guess.
Since it is only a dime, experiment with it. Soak it in coke, or vinegar or ketchup. See what the surface reacts to. Peace Roy
