Is discoloration on only one side of a coin a mint error.
I have a 2016 Theodore Roosevelt quarter and the obverse and reverse of the quarter is different colors the front is shiny like Silver and the back is brown like copper. Is this a common discoloration occurrence or is this an error coin. The picture was taken with a flash I can provide a picture without the flash if that helps. I'm also adding a side view.

It's sometimes a normal appearance . What do you have it in ? Or was this plucked from Circulation ?

Re: Is discoloration on only one side of a coin a mint error.
Just saying...coins can be tarnished/stained/altered from a number of different environmental happenings. Maybe it spent some time sitting in the bottom of someone's car cupholder on top of some spilled liquid for a month or so? Maybe it was under someones work bench in a very shallow puddle of semi-caustic chemical? Hard to tell, but not hard to find examples of.
