As you can see, the effect is very visible along the obverse, and a bit across the reverse as well. What makes me suspicious is that it's very faint on the reverse and only noticeable under the right lighting. I also noticed the coin has no cartwheeling or strong luster despite the light wear, making me wonder if it was caused by environmental damage that ate away at the surface. OR I've been foiled again by roller lines, which has happened to me before with copper cents lol. If this is what I think is, how rare is it for coins from this decade? I know quality control was pretty low at this point, I've personally found lots of small die cuds and especially planchet laminations on these older Jeffersons, never seen anything like this before though. Thanks for taking a look guys!

Album toning on a circulated coin. No increase in value but neat looking.
A nickel worth a nickel.
@NickelMike Ah, that explains it, back in the register it goes then. I found a 38-s in the same roll though so Im still happy haha
I still think that wood grain look is one of the neatest toning patterns.
Tarnish... No numismatic premium. Great pictures though.... Cheers, RickO
