40ounce New Member Canada 9 Posts	Posted 12/23/2024 07:56 am I have a few of these nickels but this one stood out from the others and seems to be more of a bronze color. CoinSnap mentions 2 separate errors, one struck on brass and one on a copper nickel. Could this be either of those? Thanks in advance. Report this Post to the Staff

The 35% silver alloy contains manganese and is mostly copper. If left to tone all the way, it will develop a dull, dark greenish-gray patina. I have never heard of a brass or copper nickel, aside from coins accidentally struck on a cent planchet. Those are very obvious when you see them, and rare as hen's teeth.
