Spence Moderator United States 34427 Posts	Posted 01/31/2022 8:55 pm @ccb, as noted by @dear, the color isn't necessarily indicative of being a dryer cent, but rather environmental or chemical exposure. Dryer Coins have pronounced rims, sometimes comically so.

merclover Bedrock of the Community United States 10635 Posts	Posted 01/31/2022 9:10 pm The silver colour is zinc. There has been some sort of environmental staining, most likely a chemical/acidic reaction or splash. Could be a cup holder coin or formerly buried in soil. Purely post mint damage.
