NumisRob Bedrock of the Community United Kingdom 17947 Posts	Posted 03/08/2022 04:17 am Typical environmental damage. This coin has probably been buried for a year or two and dug up by a detectorist. All cupro-nickel coins go this color when they are buried. The original color is showing through on the highest points as the coin's been in circulation and the brown surface is wearing off.
