Hello!

Looking for some advice.

I recently received two of the 2018 Renewed Silver Dollar series coins, but they are certainly not identical!

The right coin has the colour of gold plating that is similar to other coins in my collection with the same treatment.

The left coin is just . . . weird. The gold detail is pale and almost has a green tinge to it. (Hopefully, the photos do an adequate job of showing the difference. I am not a good photographer!)

Just wondering if anyone else has come across this issue.

Also, should I return it to the Mint or keep it because it is, well, different?

Is there an imperfection on your first coin (see the red circle below)? I might be wrong, since I'm only looking at your photo.

Looks like less or lighter plating on the left.
I would return for refund and get another like
one on the right, plus the imperfection pointed
out by YesOrNo.

YesOrNo,

Good catch with the imperfection. I had a look at the coin and there is a tiny scratch that is barely visible to the naked eye. The flash actually made it more obvious.
