Improperly annealed or environmental damage?

    I have a dime and a nickel that both appear to be a coppery/bronze color. Pictures are attached. Both appear to be completely the copper color no peeling spots. Nickel is Jefferson obverse, Monticello reverse 1988. Roosevelt dime 2014. Last picture includes a 1957 Lincoln and a 2006 shiny zincoln for color comparison. If these are improperly annealed, are they worth anything?

    Thanks.

    If they were improperly annealed, the edges would like a normal coin. If the copper color covers the rim, then you probably have a chemistry plating experiment
