found this nickel in a roll. My hunch is the colors are coming from some weird artificial source, but would like a second opinion... Thanks in advance everyone!  *** Edited by Staff to Add Year / Mintmark / Denomination to Title. Titles are Important! ***

Almost looks as if it were buried for some time.

Looks like Ty D Bol toilet cleaner spilled on it. I got that junk on my hands once, it was there for like a week no matter how much I tried to scrub it off!
It's definitely a mild acid/corrosive. I use it to remove gray metal rub stains from my white countertop.
Don't ask why a white countertop...... Yeah.... bad decision.

Interesting, but I am feeling a little nauseous looking at him.

I'd be afraid to even touch that thing.

The different areas of "toning" look like its from different concentrations of some substance. Real ugly!

The source of the toning is irrelevant. A coin is either market acceptable or not, in this case, not.
