From the pictures it looks like improperly annealed or Black Beauty

My first thought was "Black Beauty".

Improperly Annealed status cannot confirmed with any certainly because the coin is obviously circulated, environmental damage can also darken a nickel. The presence of original mint luster is the only way to definitively identify an improperly annealed coin.

biokemist6: According to Coop's post on the link Buddy posted:

"the color does not wear off. The color goes through the surface of the coin."

So does this mean a scratch test can be done on the edge to determine if the coin is black throughout indicating Black Beauty OR if shiny silver appears it's a regular nickel with environmental/PMD? Then you don't really damage the coin too badly either.

I vote for environmental damage. You can see a little bit of green in the fields
