    Hello I came across this it may be weather damaged and currently do not have a scale to see if the weight is different from others but was there any coins minted in 2012/2011 with an inner core very dark as this coin

    The inner core composition surely would be affected by Environmental Damage -

    quote - "Prior to 2012, the coin consisted of an aluminum bronze inner core with a pure nickel outer ring; however in spring 2012 the composition of the inner core switched to aluminum bronze coated with multi-ply plated brass, and the outer ring switched to steel coated with multi-ply plated nickel." closed quote
