<p>[QUOTE=&quot;jubabeast, post: 1111693, member: 29274&quot;]Shows what a novice I am, I was thinking that after 64 the coins kept silver for cladding and used copper for the core to make them cheaper. It&#039;s a bummer to have nickel and copper coins, even cheaper than I thought.</p><p><br /></p><p>Still, I didn&#039;t think either silver or nickel would change its color to this extent without something unusual happening. I&#039;ve got a bunch of nickel coins, some more than a century old that still look bright. In fact, that&#039;s one of the properties of nickel, it doesn&#039;t oxidize much at all. Mixing it with silver creates a silver that doesn&#039;t tarnish (sometimes called German silver). This coin is quite new so it&#039;s not age that has done it or oxidation, there has to be some other factor.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
