Oh yeah that '93 is one of hundreds with the weird coating. Please tell me there's a logical answer to this,that or I could be losing it

Was the residue a whitish color?  What I see is a badly damaged copper plated cent where breaks in the plating probably allowed the zinc to oxidize and which has now been cleaned away.

I’m with Condor101, and ditto for his thoughts on your so-called broadstruck dimes.

I am in the "oxidized zinc" camp as well.

And, your dimes could not have been broadstruck. A broadstrike is a coin that has been struck outside the collar. The collar is what applies the reeding to the circumference. Your dimes have reeding, therefore your dimes were struck inside the collar.

It's was like powdered patina. Not Wet or had any odor that I could tell. I think something I handled started a reaction...there were lot of them.i may contact the treasure dept. Send them a few. It reminded me of model paint.

Thank you all for your input. I did some cursory surface exams on a few random coins. Turns out that the rolls had pennies with some type of oil or grease(possibly organic)that contaminated the batch of coins I was handling.story short, I quarantined my collection and am going to clean up."Catch you later 👉"

If these were rolled together I would say they are fountain coins or otherwise have been submerged. First picture obviously parking lot coin.

I'm thinking these rolls may have come from the flood ravaged area in and around Houston during hurricane Harvey.
