Dave42 Pillar of the Community United States 571 Posts	Posted 08/19/2018 7:48 pm Unfortunately, it's not an error. Looks like environmental damage to me. Stained and corroded, may have spent some time in the dirt. Report this Post to the Staff

Tanman2001 Pillar of the Community United States 4406 Posts	Posted 08/19/2018 8:29 pm to the forum! Just environmental damage (staining and corrosion). What makes you think it's clad? Edited by Tanman2001 08/19/2018 8:29 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 74919 Posts	Posted 08/19/2018 8:56 pm To CCF! Not to burst your bubble, but this is not an error at all. This is Environmental Damage. It's Post Strike Damage (it happened after it left the U.S. Mint). Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff

Spence Moderator United States 34430 Posts	Posted 08/19/2018 9:41 pm To help the OP, would an acetone bath perhaps help to remove the environmental/chemical toning?

newcoin Valued Member United States 380 Posts	Posted 08/19/2018 9:46 pm I am new to this so I have never used any chemicals and don't want to damage the coin. Should I take to coin dealer near me to check it? Report this Post to the Staff
Spence Moderator United States 34430 Posts	Posted 08/19/2018 9:50 pm Ok yes don't stress--we are here to help. As others have stated, the most likely explanation is that your coin is just corroded and has a passing resemblance to that error coin you posted. I was thinking that if you left this nickel in an acetone bath, the surface color would change back and you would see that there is actually not a copper layer. If you use the search function on the top left of your screen, you can see multiple threads talking about acetone and some of the precautions that you would need to take.
