Question
I have a 1984 Gold Dime from the Denver mint, just wanted to know what is it and is it worth anything? Researched it can not seem to find any information on it
Hi Coy,
Without a physical inspection, I can only think of two possibilities. One is that the coin has just tarnished a golden color. The other is that since dimes are sandwich coins, that is a copper core with nickels outsides, that the nickel outsides was not applied.
I suggest you have a dealer inspect your coin.
Regards
