Hi guys,
Curious? I keep coming across these brown, chocolate color coins? Does anyone know why this happens to coins? The strike still looks pretty good. It weighs normal too.
Plus, I do notice the usual copper along the third side, the rim. But the obv. and rev. has that chocolate look? Makes me almost wanting to take a bite! Lol
Thanks guys :)

    Usually cupronickel turning brown is a sign that it's been buried in humic soil.

    Just environmental staining.... Have seen it often on quarters I have found either MD'ing or just in the street. Cheers, RickO
