K9mike New Member United States 24 Posts	Posted 05/12/2022 3:31 pm Have question about toning. I found a new nickel in roll and it has a charcoal/gunmetal grey type look to it. (smokey). Was wondering if this is common situation that can occur. I had several other new 2021 nickels, very nice shape and shiney in roll...but, this one...def caught my eye. Very uniform all over the entire coin. Wish would have take pics, but had put it in a flip and now cant get very good images. But, just was wondering if this is type thing can occur coming from mint. thx for any help. Mike Report this Post to the Staff

Seems like the damaged stuff is what everyone notices as different. Being different doesn't make it a mint error. Report this Post to the Staff
K9mike New Member United States 24 Posts	Posted 05/12/2022 3:51 pm Guess what was trying to say was. Can this sort of thing happen at the mint? Sorry couldn't post pics. (Really don't think could get great shot of it, but could try). Report this Post to the Staff

MakesNoCentsToMe Valued Member United States 299 Posts	Posted 05/12/2022 7:42 pm You have to start somewhere K9. Taking good coin pics is the bane of my existence! lol. The pro's on here will at least have a starting point now. Report this Post to the Staff
K9mike New Member United States 24 Posts	Posted 05/12/2022 7:45 pm Lol...yes. I wish could get good shot of it. Like said the coin is nice and shiney like a new nickel. It just has this smokey tint to it throughout the whole coin. Very nice looking. Is it possible the blanket could have been tainted? 🤷 #8205;#9794;#65039; Report this Post to the Staff

Unless it cannot have happened after the coin was struck you should just assume that it happened later. With toning and surface discoloration, that would be a very safe bet.
