We must see the coin--front, back and edge, before we can make an informed judgment. IMHO.] So it sounds like you're saying we should never comment on a posted photo because we can't be certain.

Quintus Arrius Posted July 1, 2022 Share Posted July 1, 2022 @Oldhoopster: The Forum, on occasion, plays Guess the Grade. Although this is an old thread, that has been revived creatively and is still ON TOPIC, my answer would be yes, ideally, the membership would have a much better idea of the relic being assessed if we were afforded access to it. Barring that, a good photo--obverse/reverse/edge--would serve as a point of departure. At this juncture we have little more than @Judy B's assertion and @JamieE's query. The former can be helped should she choose to offer photos in support of her position. Not so the latter, as the status of that coin remains unresolved nearly two years after the OP took a powder.

You honor me with your presence. Just to set the record straight, this thread was inadvertently revived by a new member whose faux pas was compounded by yet another new member. Being true to my nature, I simply took advantage of the mayhem to create a little of my own. It should be noted that only one fellow member lobbed criticism my way [MM] who stated quite frankly he did not think much of my proclivity for trolling. Ouch! Now that hurt!

JNelson27 Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 (edited) Not saying it's something special or not... just that I found this post because I Googled 1993 dime with matte finish.

Welcome to the forum, what you have is just post mint damage, perhaps the victim of a bath in a mild acid like pool acid. Notice how the hair on the obv bust looks melted, the coin did not leave the mint in this condition. Hoghead515 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad to see you here and looking forward to learning more about what you collect. Coins like the one you posted are actually quite commonplace in circulation, some are created in an attempt to deceive, others are the products of boredom, and even the odd everyday mishaps of life.

JamieE Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 (edited) Hate to disagree with anyone....BUT I have a 1981 S " PROOF " dime with similar attributions.

I am sure your dime is a bit different being a proof .The dimes posted above are regular strike. The Denver coin in the center looks like environmental damage or some kind of PMD to me. I roll hunt all the time and I do see coins like this a lot. Edited February 15 by J P M Hoghead515 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have a matte 1981-S proof dime? That’s amazing. No such thing was ever made. On the other hand, many 1981 proof dimes were liberated from 1981 sets that were broken up for their Type 2 SBA dollars, providing lots of dimes to screw around with.

JNelson27 Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 I also thought perhaps it was something with the planchet and not a special coating. It also has a slight pink tone that you can't really tell from the pictures. But anyway, interesting coin nonetheless. I am keeping it...never know.

VKurtB Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 (edited) Anything unusual with the planchet would have been removed by the MIRRORED FINISH DIES. Planchets are not where the finish comes from. It comes from the DIES. What you are looking at is a screwed with coin. Edited February 15 by VKurtB Hoghead515 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoghead515 Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 (edited) Different chemicals and exposures can cause them to tarnish slightly different colors also. Could be the acid it was bathed in caused it to tone that pinkish color. I found a West Point quarter and I wasnt paying attention and dropped it in my pocket with a zippo lighter. The zippo had leaked fluid in my pocket and it toned that quarter pink and blue colors. I also agree with @Coinbuf. It has that look to it they get from being exposed to acid.
