Can I see the reverse side of those 1955 slabs ? In my opinion they just don't look like BB's .


Here you go these are pics next to some unc 1955 Ds it's quite obvious they are BB's when they are in your hands. It's hard regardless to take good pics of BB nickels.

I guess raw and in hand would have made it better to tell the difference more clearly .

Here is another reference, this is one of the 1958 FS BBs above prior to grading, next to a regular 1962 nickel.

I have no idea if these are black beauties or not. Thought they had just both toned. What do the experts say. I will say photographing them is near impossible, especially through mint set packaging. Maybe it's time to bust them out?

I know I have posted a few pics here and there of the Black Beauty Nickels that I have, but here is a pic of my entire personal hoard of certified keepers from 1954-1959 as it currently sits. Always looking for new years to add to it.

Neither Black nor a Beauty. Just environmental toning - perhaps buried at one time.
