What that is ,they call it an end roll coin since only one side is toned. The coin was in a wrapper the first coin . I have a kennedy halve and the obverse is only toned nice one Jello

What kind of album was it stored in & for how many years?

My guess would be a whitman folding album. The reverse would be against that paper for a while and that could tone it I would think.

 

I second that guess!

 

sometimes one side tones more than the other.

 

unattractive.

 

1959-60 Whitman on till 1975 Dansco and update till now.

 

Well it's very possible the coin was toned before he put it in the folder. The coin has toning on the reverse, usually you put the obverse facing up to show the date so the obverse should be toned instead

That's why i think it was an end roll coin just speculation .

from 1952-1964 are all mint set coins & 52-46 rolls and trades as I recall.

 

Better lighting may make those colors jump out. I have a merc that looks lavender in person, but photos always show as maroon/brown (yes, that one).
