ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19217 Posts	Posted 11/11/2020 3:01 pm Full photos of the coin's obverse and reverse would be cool. Given the single, partial image posted, I'd say toning caused by exposure to environmental agents. While not quite as common as with copper coins, it does happen with clad coins. Full photos would tell a more complete story. Also see a little doubling on E PLURIBUS UNIM. Edited by ijn1944 11/11/2020 3:03 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Yokozuna Pillar of the Community United States 4618 Posts	Posted 11/11/2020 3:01 pm I'm not seeing anything out of the ordinary as far as toning on this coin. It's been out there for more than forty years so it's impossible to know what it's been in contact with that colored and stained the coin.

Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 11/11/2020 3:24 pm Color doesn't seem all that unusual. Can you be more specific? Report this Post to the Staff
chey5256 New Member United States 31 Posts	Posted 11/11/2020 3:29 pm when you look at it close up under the scope, its not typical silver, as in the first pic I posted. its brownish and changes colors as you move it in the light Report this Post to the Staff
