I would use the non-corroded coin. The black coin would stand out like a sore thumb.

It's interesting looking, but I'd put the normal one in the album.

Was exposed to heat sometime in the past.
To prove for yourself:
Just heat a current nickel to high heat on your kitchen stove, then drop into cold water.
Use tongs!

I like the dark, but would continue with the one you are using.

Thanks everyone. I think I'm going to keep the normal looking coin in the album.

I have had some fun heating Australian circulating copper nickel coins to jet black, then releasing them back into circulation.
You get quite a lot of curious expressions from check out chicks!

This one actually doesn't appear to have been heat toned and there's no corrosion.

Actually I like it although I usually try to get tarnish free buffalos if I can.
