<p>[QUOTE=&quot;johnmilton, post: 26176528, member: 101855&quot;]Please take this the right way, but the coin is corroded. Nickels turn brown or black when they corrode. Once in a great while, you will see some green. The surfaces end up pitted as they are on this coin. </p><p><br /></p><p>Look at a decent nickel in your pocket, and search for that look when you decided to buy your next one. The surfaces of the coin should be white or gray. Once in a while you will get some colorful toning, but that is really only for Mint State and Proof pieces. </p><p><br /></p><p>The Shield Nickel is not a rare type coin. There are some tough dates and varieties, like the 1877 and &#039;78 which are Proof only dates. </p><p><br /></p><p>This one is Mint State, but a circulated one should have a similar look. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1670946[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
