I texted my friend, she did weigh it. 5 grams exactly.

Well the weight is spot on for what it should weigh, so I think this coin is just heavily toned or was buried at some point

Given the weight, not possible.

Well first of all I do not see any steps at all . As far as the color I have to admit I'm stumped . The even all around brown is very odd . I'm going to say not a fake coin , not plated , not a dirt find , not painted , and not any kind of environmental issue .

If I had to take a guess I'd say a fountain nickel, sitting around a bunch if cents in a fountain with chemicals.

I agree with Dear! What chemicals could bring the Ni red-brown?

Quote: What chemicals could bring the Ni red-brown? no idea as I'm not a chemist  I do know I have a loonie with even darker colouring then this and have seen nickels with a dark tone like this. If in a fountain I imagine chlorine and maybe a few other chemicals. Other wise no clue.

 TheDiv27! Looks like a metal detecting find. Remember, nickels are 75% Copper and 25% Nickel.

Probably a metal detector find.  I circulation the residue will wear off first on the higher devices:  Eventually coin coin will turn black on the brown areas:  Just a spender. (unless you want to take images for and one each week when you carry it in your change. Make it a project coin to follow how it slowly changes colors?
