Can't tell from the pictures, but I agree that it could just be toning. I have seen plenty of war nickels that tone a solid golden color. And,...
Here's another cool blue (and green!) dime from late last year: http://www.cointalk.com/t71658/

I like it as a AU-55. Definitely looks like wear on the top of Liberty's right leg (left in picture.)
Hum a few bars. Nice find anyway!
I'm thinking about adding it to my calendar to revive it in 2013, just for kicks.
