coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 07/21/2022 1:28 pm It was at one time one color from what toned the coin. Now with the circulation removing the coating on the coin that caused it to be dark, the original color is coming back as the coating wears off on the coin. That is what your are seeing on your coin.
