Worth anything? There's one little spot on the obverse where the silver color shows through.

Best to properly crop photos before posting. Looks like environmental damage to me. John1

The more you crop the image, the larger the devices will appear. IE: if you are only allowed a certain size of image, the larger it is, the smaller the device will be in the image. But if your proof it as much as possible, then the devices will be shown larger.

well, I have a young son running around, ill throw up better shots later. and the image resizer forces me to use it even if the images are under the limit. Then I end up with that.

The color looks like an metal detector find. If it were a mint error, like a missing cladding, the color would be a deep red, not brown and the tops of the devices would all be that deep red color. The lighter color on your coin is where the color is wearing on the coin. It was a normal coin when struck. Now tinted with outdoor ick.  It wears off the coin circulation:  Eventually getting closer to the original color:  On a missing cladding the color remains red:  Note also the weakness of the strike on the coin on the right? The missing cladding prevents the normal strike of the coin. A lot to learn, but take it slow and if you need to copy the information to add to your personal educational files. You can copy images to save, or take a screen shot to same the while post/thread. Depending on your storage ability. Or copy and post to a word file. Doing this will help reduce the "Why didn't I copy it when I saw it the first time." issues. Other sites provide information of yes and no answers, but here, I prefer to explain what I see on a coin, that than the yes or no answers. (that way you will see what I see on the coin, not just an answer)

@Coop - thank you. Honestly, in person it looks far more like the coin on the left in the last example. I got the coin as a penny in change, lol. I'll definitely get some more/better shots up.

Its a 2021 so, not sure how long it would have to be in the ground for it to get the discoloration in a metal detect, but the discoloration is very even throughout. There's also a lot more luster and pink hue than in this shot.

If you'd crop your photos they will be larger. I agree with others, environmental staining/tarnishing post mint damage.

The coin is not brown, that must be lighting....it's pink...looks just like a penny. I got it back as a penny. 28 cents change....got a quarter, 2 pennies and this. I'm not a photographer, my apologies. I do crop the images, but I am FORCED to use the resizer even if they are under the size limit. Here is a shot next to a penny...the penny is more brown than the coin.
