[QUOTE="Leadfoot, post: 320231, member: 2972"]The "spotted" look of the toning is what is leading me to believe it is corroded. If it were toning only, it would be more even over the coin. I also suspect the coin will be pitted but the photos, being small, don't show this. Think of it like this -- how many Jefferson nickels do you see with this spotted looking toning? Again, I'm just going from 400x300 pictures and I certainly could be wrong, but I've seen enough corroded nickels in pictures and in-hand to feel confident in my assessment. Respectfully...Mike[/QUOTE]
