There is some toning or discoloration on obverse that looks like it may be more gold in color. Found in pocket change. Wondering if this is a known mint error? I used coin identifier to take the picture. Thanks. Edited by Jamye79 09/12/2026 5:18 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Roller42 Valued Member United States 192 Posts	Posted 09/12/2026 6:52 pm I found one of those recently, too, and all believed it was just copper plated. The solid copper color on the edge helps confirm that. There's also a treatment that brings out the copper color on the nickel cladding. If it was a wrong planchet error the weight should be off.
