Hail24 Valued Member United States 155 Posts	Posted 05/11/2020 02:12 am I found this coin CRH and I have heard somewhere before about a black beauty while watching a CRH video on youtube. This coin is not painted it is actually black. Not saying it is valuable but it is a really cool coin and I am going to keep it. Just wondering if anyone else has seen a coin like this and how it gets like this? Thanks in advance, Chris! Report this Post to the Staff

T-BOP Rest in Peace United States 18456 Posts	Posted 05/11/2020 07:47 am No , Black Beauty designations are only for Jefferson nickels . Mostly 1959-P that had improperly annealed planchets . Report this Post to the Staff
