rev03 New Member United States 8 Posts	Posted 03/23/2024 1:43 pm Thanks for the input. Was not getting my hopes up to high. Tried using auto correct on Paint . net and it really made the coin much darker. Will upload the original pic to compare it with. Thanks again Report this Post to the Staff
Sharks Pillar of the Community Canada 1775 Posts	Posted 03/23/2024 2:57 pm @rev03 That is quite a difference in colour between the two sets of pictures. It still appears to have some environmental damage/corrosion along with expected wear for a 1962 nickel. Report this Post to the Staff

Dearborn Moderator United States 98753 Posts	Posted 03/23/2024 10:00 pm This is environmental toning on this coin. We can see some of the silvery color of the nickel metal. if it were a black beauty, there would be no silver showing and the original luster would still be visible. Collecting since 1972.
