Susan B Anthony dufferent color

I get one Susan Dollar " uncirculated" and this coin have different color. All coins before was shiny and bright, this was gray and not shiny at all. It's that normal?

Hi
Imho, it looks like it is missing it’s clad layer, unless air got inside.?
It’s too bad about the contact marks.
Also some possible doubling in the image?

Here’s a couple sites I found while we are waiting for the experts to give us a better idea of what happened

I think it is just toning from being inside plastic for so long.

 

NO IT IS NOT MISSING THE CLAD LAYER!
Your on a roll roday giving wrong information!

Just normal toning!

 

Agree - not missing clad layer. Were it missing clad,

Missing one clad layer weight approximately 5.8 g - 6.1 g

 

Weight is 8.3 grams
This is 1978 set, color is bright and nice. So i guess, maybe air toning coin

 

And would look like this..

Rabbit, it's good that you want to participate and help others, but when you are just making a wild guess, it is like trying to determine if a gun is loaded by looking down the barrel and pulling the trigger.

Sorry, just getting my cup of coffee,lol
So, is it the air inside or rather air is let in that makes it tone?

 

Here we go ,
The occurrence happens most often with sulfur or oxygen. As that reaction occurs, a compound forms on the surface of the coin, gradually changing the color of the metal. The color change is a gradual process that typically takes years to fully develop.

 

Absolutely not missing a clad layer. I noticed a number of 1979 coins. You do want to check for this rare variety on the 1979-P SBA. Wide rim, near date.

 

Please.... stop... giving... bad... advice... This coin is absolutely not missing its clad layer. You continue to tell people you think their coins are something they are not. You are going to mislead people here and cause them financial and emotional heartache. Please continue to study errors before commenting on them. I continue to provide you this feedback... and apparently so does @paddyman98

 

It is for a "duffer", it's called the "dufferent" color, which is what you have.

(In case no one noticed...I'm baaaack! )

 

When did you leave?

Hey, everyone is allowed to make mistakes. I always admit mine and I don’t berate people about their mistakes. It’s not kind.
I like to learn from my mistakes.

 

No you don't. You keep making the same mistake over and over: giving advice on things you don't know enough about. Once or twice, that's fine, but this is such a pattern that now instead of sending you PMs like I've done in the past, I'm going bringing it up for everyone to see in hopes of it changing your behavior. If nothing else, it will help people understand that your advice is not to be heeded/trusted.

And I understand you being upset about my repeated comments to you about doing this, but I'm not here to be "kind". I'm here to learn about coins and help other people learn about theirs. I continually find myself coming back behind you and telling others that what you said is completely incorrect. Your mistakes can end up hurting other people. I'd rather be mean than sit back and let someone be led astray.

 

Imho, Actually. I only give my opinion.
No fact.
It’s not written in stone

 

^^ No, opinions, here and elsewhere are not written in stone. But others sometimes believe nonsense that is written. Please do refrain until you actually have some accurate stuff to pass on. It is really not difficult to realize that although it might make you happy to act like you know the reason for things, it may in fact cause someone to think you are not just giving an "opinion" but are giving an opinion based on being knowledgeable. It is also super easy to follow threads and see what others who are knowledgeable say. Try it.

 

Imho, not sure if you read what I wrote because I did use question marks(?) and said “waiting for the experts to give us a better idea of what happened”. Also left a couple of helpful links. About the coin in question.
If I’m unsure.I usually say let’s hear what the experts say.

Now we know how that occurred.
Thank you very much

 

You’re clearly not understanding what EVERYONE keeps telling you. No matter whether you say you “think” or “wait for experts” you are tossing out wild guesses that demonstrate to those who know what they’re talking about that you have no idea what you are saying. You seem to suggest doubling in almost every post, and this time you gave an opinion that even my wife would know to be wrong. In doing this, you risk putting false notions of a coin being worth a certain amount of money or having a certain amount of rarity.

Look how hard it is to convince you that you’re doing a bad thing. You’re not listening to anybody and instead going by what you want. We get a lot of people that come through here convinced they have something special. Even when all the experts tell them it’s not, they don’t listen (much like you’re not listening). All it takes is one person to say what they want to hear: “I THINK it’s a XYZ” and then they will never believe otherwise.
They might go buy the coin that they were unsure of purchasing for way more than it’s worth, they might make financial decisions believing they are about to make a lot of money. And at the very least, they will walk away from here thinking something about numismatics is true, that isn’t. Your wild guessing is BAD for the hobby. You claim to care about the hobby and about errors, so show it by continuing to learn and stop tossing out random guesses.

Instead of throwing out wild guesses try “I’m not 100% sure if it’s what I think it is, so I’ll wait on others’ opinions”. I use that one when I think someone has a legitimate error, but don’t know for sure. This way I’m not putting an idea in their mind, that I’m not able to take out. This way, you can still provide helpful links, you can still participate in the conversation, and you can still learn from the experts.

Please stop for a moment and think of how your advice could be damaging for others, especially for people who know even less than you do. There’s a reason so many of us are telling you the same thing.
