I pulled this from a 2020d OBW roll I received from my bank. I have no reason to believe the roll was searched or tampered with. It wasnt an ender,so I dont suspect any type of damage or anything personally. My only guess is an annealing issue,but I cannot confirm it to be genuine personally. Very appealing coin to the eye,just wanted to share    Edited by KeepTheChange 06/16/2021 12:55 am

KeepAChange, you suspected a improper annealing. In fact you do not have annealing after the blank is done.
For me this coin it is a nice toning coin. The colors develop normally in the order of the spectrum. Later if it is not vacuum will develop the green also.
By curiosity I ask where was situated the coin in the roll?
PS: By the way, a toning coin has more value then a improper annealing.

This coin was near the middle of the roll. It was the only coin in the entire roll that was this color. I am not well rounded in determining annealing issues....im all ears

It is not annealing. It is a nice toning coin and not a fake toning.

Not sure if improper annealing will product that rainbow effect on just one side, it appeared to be more like artificial created toning. Sorry silviosi, it doesn't look natural toning.

Appears to be toning. I've never seen an annealing issue that had colors like this.

Mac, till now I never see a fake toning respecting the spectrum. I know theoretically could be done, but till now never see. I keep my opinion of toning in development.

Nice toning of some sort but agree it doesn't look natural. Annealing errors don't have blue/green characteristics. looks like a black eye

For the record,i would have totally labeled this coin as damaged if it wasnt for the fact that it came from a brand new roll of 2020ds. Genuine toning usually starts at the rim and works its way to the center,flawlessly transitioning in color. I thought it was neat,and ill hold onto it regardless

the toning do not start from the rim all the time. The toning start where the environment is present. The toning it is the effect of the environment.

However it happened, naturally or otherwise, it does not seem to be an annealing issue.

This could have been on the stock material. Did you check for a DDR on this one? Looks like something could be no the door?

I say it is not annealing.
Spence, I really do not know the exact prices fluctuations. What I know it is some nice spectrum toning can brink high premium with the wright collector.

Looks to me like someone took a torch to it.
