<p>[QUOTE=&quot;CraftPaperNinja, post: 3079377, member: 93454&quot;]Hi all, </p><p><br /></p><p>I love this forum and the amount of expertise found here.&nbsp; I am still new to coin collecting and found some nickels that have some interesting coloring.&nbsp; I was hoping to get some information about how these nickels came to be the way they are.&nbsp; So without further ado:</p><p><br /></p><p>The first is a 2013 D that has a bluish black blotchy look to it on the obverse and a similar coloring on the reverse with an added tint of copper in spots.&nbsp; The surface doesn&#039;t appear to be pock marked or anything.&nbsp; I&#039;m at a loss with this one.&nbsp; Maybe corrosive damage?&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>The second is a 1995 D and has blues, Coppers, blacks, and yellows on both sides.&nbsp; My uneducated opinion is that it was perhaps subjected to salt water?&nbsp; But I&#039;m still not sure. </p><p><br /></p><p>And finally, another 2013 D that has a consistent black tone and uniform striations across both sides.&nbsp; I don&#039;t think the coin was scraped across the ground or something abrasive because the striations look fairly uniform and don&#039;t appear to cut into the face of the coin.&nbsp; I was thinking perhaps an annealing error, but I&#039;m not sure that type of error would produce striations like this.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I appreciate any feedback you might have!&nbsp; Thanks for looking!![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
