Buddy Rest in Peace United States 7075 Posts	Posted 11/28/2014 6:28 pm My immediate reaction was that it was environmental damage. But I recalled seeing something like this before here. https://goccf.com/t/183939 Your coin looks different than the coin in the other thread but what biokemist6 wrote is sticks in my mind. It seems as though you could have a black beauty and at the same time have no extra premium because of circulation wear. Report this Post to the Staff
nickelsearcher Moderator United States 15613 Posts	Posted 11/28/2014 6:34 pm IMHO - stained from environmental damage ... not a Black Beauty which has uniform 'sintered' color on the entire coin. David Take a look at my other hobby ... http://www.jk-dk.art Report this Post to the Staff
robbudo Pillar of the Community United States 2759 Posts	Posted 11/28/2014 7:43 pm thanks for the input. I do believe there is a chance it is real, but I'll put it back in circulation. Report this Post to the Staff
OcalaFlorida Pillar of the Community United States 2824 Posts	Posted 11/28/2014 8:45 pm PMD - buried/acid damage should be a solid gunship grey.. any varied color, red or silver showing through is environmental or PMD Edited by OcalaFlorida 11/28/2014 8:45 pm Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 11/29/2014 02:18 am Note the finish on the slab. Note how the whole coin is the same color and still shiny. Just darker in color. Report this Post to the Staff
