The 43 and 42 on the bottom are War Nickels made of 35% silver, which is the reason for the different color. The rest are just regular nickels with environmental toning.

@pbax, first welcome to CCF. Second, you might find the thread linked below of interest as it has a whole bunch of BBs posted, along with good discussion:

All of these look like normal nickels with varying degrees of environmental toning.

Severe heat stress can turn copper nickel coins jet black.
Rest in Peace

Thank you for all the feedback from everyone. I'm a rookie to the coin collecting world. I apologize for my messy posts. I will try to be more descriptive and not post a decade of coins all at once. Happy hunting!
