Your pics really don't show Silver, just environmental toning. Or what some people call "circulation cameo" - Edited by Mark1959 12/28/2017 8:32 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Spence Moderator United States 34427 Posts	Posted 12/28/2017 10:15 pm @SF11Dude, in addition to plating or environmental damage, one other way that folks have gotten copper coins to look silvery is by coating them with Mercury. However it was done on your coin, it is only worth face value.

However, it has a decent circulation cameo look and that makes it a fun keeper (although not one that will make you wealthy).
