Neat! Kind of like the year 1958 - where a lot of those nickels toned darker?

I got about 5 out of a bag that were almost a faint lavendar in color.



So-so scan but this is a reguler Peace nickel (Above).



While this coin shows the lavender hue the best.

I had the same deal with some state quarters. I found them in mint bags and some were like a bronze to a dark brown and found two that were almost black. I wondered if I should have sent them to PCGS as errors and maybe they were some weird type of exp. rinse gone wrong.

I sold one on ebay but it was returned because it wasn't black enough.

Photos are below.
