Here are a couple non silver Nickels that have toning: [img] [img] [img]
It's hard to tell from the picture if the toning is natural or due to some sort of foregin substance. Would love to see some nice, clear macro...

These are the "colorized" version of the Silver Eagle. They have them for every year the ASE was produced. They are not done by the mint, but...
Oh wow. Sounds like it would be a difficult task. 19 steps? Holy smokes, I have never noticed they put that many in that tiny area. Thanks for the...
