Lulumagu2 New Member United States 7 Posts	Posted 01/21/2018 08:59 am I hope you guys do not get tired of this Lulumagu guy, as I have almost two years worth of error type coins that I have collected, yet have been unable to identify. Another example of what I am saying can be found with this 2016 d Jefferson nickel that is an off-white, cream color. I am having problems finding any visual references with which I can work from to help me properly identify this coin. Can someone please help me with this? And if you happen to know the answer to this question, would you please enlighten me as to the specifics as to what I am looking at and to the potential value of such a coin... to all my coins that I am posting, to be honest. I have acquired a lengthy list of what I believe to be Mint Error coins over the years, but my stubbornness has reached it's limits, and I am in desperate need of some help in identifying many of the coins in my collection. Thank you so much! Report this Post to the Staff

I, for one, really enjoy looking at these. With regard to your '16-D nickel, it looks to me like this coin has some surface discoloration. This can be from environmental exposure, but it is hard to know exactly why it changed to a matte grey color. This isn't a mint error and your coin can be spent safely. If you search CCF with the keywords BLACK BEAUTY, you will find a bunch of prior threads showing that earlier nickels have had a propensity for darker discoloration.
