Hello....I’ve recently started my new obsession of coins so bear with me.... yesterday I found this 2014 Quarter and not only is the color odd to me it has a kinda of satin feel to it. That’s the best I can describe the feel. I’m curious how this could happen to a coin? thank you!
Coins like this tend to stand out amongst the rest, but unless you are building an environmentally toned coin collection, there is no real value. However, there are dates and coins that are darker because of an annealing condition for the blank planchets. For example, the 1959 Jefferson Nickel comes to mind. If you find a darker one of those, you should be careful to figure out if you have a Black Beauty or an environmental coin. Black Beauty's are worth hanging on to.
