    That reminds me of toning I have seen on many proof nickels from the 60's.
    Everything I write is my opinion.

    Looking for alot of crap.

    Yes, the tone is reminiscent of some 60's era nickels.

    But it is also the same color scheme I sometimes see that results from PVC contamination.

    So I soaked in acetone overnite and viola, the colors became more apparent and the luster improved...exactly the opposite of what you would see if it were PVC contamination.image
