    I think that the seller is confusing "beautiful patina" with "ugly corrosion." I know it's an easy thing to do. I know that I've done it before accidentally.

    I don't know if you want to handle it. It could cause nail fungus.

    I think that he was paying more attention to Liz than the coin, when he wrote that description.

    Looks like corrosion to me. Metal detector find? Don't forget that nickel US coins are 75% copper.

    As a vegetarian type coin,

    It should be stored in the

    root cellar with the turnips.

    It does look like PVC damage. Whatever, it's bad.
