mikediamond Pillar of the Community United States 2738 Posts	Posted 04/02/2013 09:01 am The dull patina is consistent with enviromental staining. You can get a genuine copper-colored nickel of normal weight if it is struck on an improperly annealed planchet. But you'd need to see original mint luster to make the call. Either that or a visibly cracking and peeling superficial layer of copper. Error coin writer and researcher. Report this Post to the Staff
