The other side

Did you find it in the ground?

Just something it was exposed to sometime in the last fifty years. An endless number of things can cause various toning to coins.

Thank you everyone for the replies. I FINALLY found 9 clad 1967-1968 half dollars in one roll today!! So excited I went to a coin shop to celebrate and purchased a 1917 half dollar and 1914 quarter!
