I found this yesterday:

Improperly-Annealed-2000-P-Nickel?

The surfaces are smooth, it has MS details (it even has six steps) and it still has some luster to it. So do you think it's improperly annealed/sintered? Is it rare for this year? Should I send it to a TPG?

I have some just like that along with Quarters and Dimes. Found them while metal detecting in a sand filled playground. It is possible that this one too was excavated. I am not saying it was, just throwing that out there so you know.

Purple is not a color one associates with an improperly annealed planchet. I don't see any mint luster, either. It would appear to be environmental discoloration.

Purple? One of us may be colorblind, because I see brown, but I figured it was damage after looking at it with a 200x magnifier.
