These are the worst looking coins Ive dug since I've been in Texas. I think some farm lands drain into the creek and it could be the chemicals.

That explains a lot.  But in the limited (fresh-) water detecting I've done it seemed like the 95% copper pennies took it hard, hanging out in the muck.  (Unfortunately I didn't find any 90% silver coins to be able to compare.)  Your 3rd dime (another Merc) didn't look nearly as bad as the other two.

The one merc came from the area right above the shoreline. All the coins from the dirt are in very good condition. I've hunted several other water holes around the area and none of the copper or silver coins were this rough.
