Raul New Member United States 3 Posts	Posted 12/21/2024 4:17 pm It's missing the nickel color, its copper colored. Is this a minting error? Report this Post to the Staff

Marv65 Bedrock of the Community United States 10485 Posts	Posted 12/21/2024 8:10 pm Sometimes if you heat up a nickle until it glows orange with torches then let it cool down it acquires a dark color like yours. Report this Post to the Staff

Dearborn Moderator United States 94892 Posts	Posted 12/22/2024 6:21 pm to CCF. environmental toning can change the color of a coin. Remember that a nickel consists of 75% copper.
