copper dimes

[rip]

A friend got 2 dimes in her change yesterday.They look to be copper plated the woman at the store said she got a roll of em,but these were the last 2.Any ideas as to weather there error coins(experimental planchet ?) or just plated for some reason ? One is a 1987 and the other is a 1997

Never saw anything like that. Maybe an error coin

Rip,

Not sure about the dimes but reading your palm tells me that you will strike it rich within the next 2 months. When you do, remember your forum buddy who foretold the glorious event!

Since the dates are so far apart, maybe someone was experimenting with a plating kit. Just my guess. Great find anyways

I was experimenting with some chemicals at work once in a cheap attempt to clean my metal detecting treasures. I believe it was hydrosulferic acid and acetic acid or maybe it was soda ash?!? Well anyway's it worked rather well except for the fact that it turned all those coins a pinkish/copper color. I'm guessing that this is what happened to your coins. That was about 4 or 5 years ago and I think I did have a whole roll of copper dimes and half a roll of quarters. Maybe those were the ones I found? Hope this helps. Jason

Once when I tumbled my Coins, I used B.B.'s It turned them all pink. I used to separate the silver clad from the pennies too, because if 1 penny is in there it will also turn them Pink.
