    It looks like it has been dipped in a mild acid. ~ Chris

    Fantastic! I can list it on Etsy as a one-of-a-kind error worth $10K. ~ Chris

    Oh it’s electrolysis judging by the worn and faint metallic crystals of nickel in the clad layer on the coin using sulfuric acid to turn into metallic, inorganic sulfate salts. Don’t worry I have a coin like this it’s a 2000P penny with dentritic copper crystals on the plating
