Found this in my change today and don't know what to make of it. I've seen tarnished coins and dirty coins but this one almost looks like rust...

Thoughts? I'd appreciate any and all. I find it a curiousity.

I've seen coins like that before. They were sitting in water which also had a lot of rusting steel.

Both sound plausible for sure. I've never seen a coin quite like this.

I have a V nickel that looks like that, as Doug said it was in close proximity to rusting metal. In my case, it had gotten mixed into a bunch of Canadian coins that rusted during a bedroom flood.

Looks like a metal detector find to me.
