It's essential to have it in the title. * Unfortunately LED lighting washed out the subtle yellow-gold toning on the 1988 nickel. That toning with the luster makes it a very nice looking coin. The 1999.....well....its just interesting. I think it was heated from the reverse. Report this Post to the Staff

The Copper plated zinc cents turn nice colours when heated but I don't know about nickels. Report this Post to the Staff
Seeker_101 Pillar of the Community United States 1791 Posts	Posted 11/27/2024 10:31 pm Could be staining. I was just assuming because the reverse is a sooty coppery color and the obverse is the yellow with blue and coppery spots. I know nickel, unlike copper, is very heat resistant so it would take a bit of heat to get the cupronickel to change color. Edited by Seeker_101 11/27/2024 10:36 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Chase007 Pillar of the Community United States 7510 Posts	Posted 11/28/2024 11:41 am The 88 Nickel is certainly showing a bluish toning I've seen them often in uncirculated paper wrapped rolls, the lower coin looks stained ,perhaps was a buried coin at one time. Report this Post to the Staff
Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 74060 Posts	Posted 11/28/2024 1:09 pm The second one is stained. Might have been in a cup holder that had liquid spilled on it. Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff
