Some sort of Enviromental factor not an error.

What would keep a coin shining on one side but dull on the other?

One side may have been exposed to a corrosive environmental agent, while the other side--perhaps in something like a Whitman album folder--was shielded from exposure. I've seen similar coins across a variety of denominations while coin searching the last several decades. Not that common, but does happen.

I agree with the above, but alternatively, this coin might have spent some time in a fountain, with one side constantly exposed to sunlight and the weather elements.

If the coin was in a roll the inside side will not be affected. The color remember me some coins with gun blue.

If it were in a roll, then the edges would also not be affected.
This coin spend a long just witting somewhere reverse side down and the obverse got the brunt of the environment it was in at the time.

DEAR I do not eliminate any possibility for this coin. It is for me just an environment or acted deterioration of the coin.
