Can't really tell from you images . Must include whole coin in your pics obverse and reverse . Looks either burnt to a crisp or a ground find but I'm leaning towards fire .

When you make a topic here, you need to state very very clearly what you think is "very very special" about the coin.

Looks like a 1999-P to me that's been buried for quite a while.

The second picture (reverse) looks like an AU coin that has toned. It looks like a completely different coin than that 4th image (reverse) to me.

So the first 2 pictures is the same coin I got from a coin roll. Every single one of these coins have a weird double mint mark when you turn the coin and take a picture of it sideways. That's how the I got the first 2 images. They are 1991 and so on series and when you turn them slightly every single one of them has the "99" looking like "00"

Also on the reverse side of the coin next to the building you can see a large S.

@TNG. That's what I was saying because these pictures are from the same coin. But after looking at them closely they look like they have been punched multiple times. And the whole roll is like this but not toned. But every single one of them have almost the same identical looking mint mark punch

Third image is of the same coin and above the head it looks like there is a missprint of some sort
The first 2 pictures are of a 1988. I will get better pictures of the mints later and they all look the same once you tilt the coin slightly

Sorry Apetrou78, I am confused. It looks like you posted pics of two coins as you mentioned. We ask that you limit your topic to one coin only to lessen the chance of confusion.
Based on what I see the dark coins look like environmental damage which is wearing off since it was removed from the damaging environment. The edges and several high spots, and hits are the normal color of a circulated nickel.

With the first coin, you ask a qusetion about what you see with the date when you turn it sideways but you only posted 2 not so clear pics of the reverse?

Well, I am confused. One coin or two (or more?)? The mark coin has environmental tarnishing/staining/discolouration, most likely from being buried in soil or heat damage, as others here have mentioned. Nothing special, not a mint error, no premium I'm afraid.
