<p>[QUOTE=&quot;TheNickelGuy, post: 1494964, member: 20201&quot;]Maybe nickels are sometime in lunar phases, check it next week, that dark area may be gone. :smurfy:</p><p>Now seriously, I thought it might have been in a 2x2 but was trapped for awhile with it partially under the circular window?</p><p>Maybe it has something to do with the annealing process and it was wedged someplace and that area was over heated?</p><p><br /></p><p>I don&#039;t know the answer, but maybe someone will. If it were only on one side I would say another nickel lay on top of it for a long time and the environment it was in caused the exposed area to tone or darken like that.</p><p>Finally, maybe someone deliberately artificially toned it while not letting certain areas become toned.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
