Thanks everyone! its in a 1961 proof set, been inside the original envelope since 1961 (most of the time) so maybe that toned the coin?

Thanks, I was wondering what gave it the purple tone. It is neat.

Typically when a Nickel tones inside of an unopen proof set, moisture has somehow gotten into that section of the flat pack causing the toning. I have several that are a very dark blue throughout the coin.
They are indeed very pretty to look at.

Check out ANACSs site. They have step by step instructions on how to submit coins. You can call the customer service line during listed business hours if you need help with it.
