I took it to a coin shop and to a coin show and nobody can tell me what it is. The suggestions I received were an annealing error or toning from the bag. It was the only one in the bag like it. Maybe it was swept up off of the mint floor and put into the bag? I lightly cleaned it with MS-70 cleaner and a q-tip and it did not change the appearance. I posted two pictures with a normal nickel found in the bag for comparison. Thanks! Report this Post to the Staff

Curiously, I've found this much more frequently with P mint coins (not all P mint coins). Could be a matter of environmentally-caused mild toning. I'm not terribly deep in annealing matters to comment on that aspect. Report this Post to the Staff

This bag was filled with new coins form the mint and sealed there. Here is a quarter I once found the forum determined was likely an annealing error. It, too, was straight from the mint: http://goccf.com/t/143811 Your pictures remind me of an annealing error.

jeaam New Member United States 9 Posts	Posted 07/26/2020 1:09 pm Thanks for the replies. I do not know much about annealing errors so I will look into that. If I send it to the NGCS can they specifically identify the error? I know it may cost more then it's worth, but I am in this to have fun not make money :) Report this Post to the Staff

A given bag or roll will likely have coins from multiple different presses and various planchet production sets. Report this Post to the Staff
