    Found this in a roll the other day. Could it be an annealing error? For reference I included a pic of a slabbed specimen that I own (seller's pic) since my phone doesn't take very good pictures. In hand it looks like the slabbed one with the soft coppery coloring. Opinions?

    With how dull the nickel areas look I would lean towards ED.

    I agree, the copper colored areas have a spotted nature and variation in color intensity that makes me think environmental damage. The graded example shows smooth and even copper areas.
