<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Hiddendragon, post: 5253277, member: 25270&quot;]I bought a bunch of coins at a coin shop yesterday, including a lot from India. One of the 1 annas is not at all the color it should be. Krause says this coin is nickel-brass, but it is very chocolate brown, like the older quarter anna coins (bronze). Along the edge of the reverse side there is a little of what looks like the proper color for these, but it&#039;s faint so hard to say for sure. The edge itself is the same chocolate color. What do you think this is? It doesn&#039;t appear to be damaged like if a chemical was used on it, and I wouldn&#039;t think this color would be any natural part of nickel-brass (though what do I know?) I&#039;m putting it side by side with another coin of the same date to show the difference. [ATTACH=full]1219018[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1219019[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
