@SamCoin: I think that there is another answer in that same thread you posted up just a while ago that may explain the difference between reed and non-reeded blackened coins.

Either put it in an album or add it to a few dollars and go to your local coffee shop for a beverage.

WOW, ok, how does one reply to sarcasm, without resorting with the same?

I think This topic has moved on beyond my coin and is now about how to identify a black beauty.

Just for curiosity: @"Dear"? do you do an XRF? the simple test to do. The SEM or EDX, EDS involve to much fees.

I'd like to know what control systems were on the annealing furnaces - anyone have pictures of the late 1950's annealing furnaces? Is it possible they were upgraded to different controls at that time?

What I know major changes was done in early 60's. The Mint reports to the congress will can clarify this issue.

Dearborn, your coin exhibits the rounding of the letter edges that is typical of a deep black beauty. The improper annealing changes how the letters strike up, making them look relatively less chiseled than non-BBs from the same year and roughly same die state.
