Wildhare Valued Member United States 219 Posts	Posted 03/21/2017 4:42 pm I believe this looks like a newer type Black Beauty. There are several dings in it (bust and dome)that show no shiny metal coloring underneath. Has anyone else run across one? I have a 1959-D Black Beauty and they are very similar.

Oldephriam Valued Member United States 424 Posts	Posted 03/21/2017 8:13 pm The color is right but there is no luster. I'm going to go with environmental damage. Maybe it was buried for a while or maybe someone heated it with a torch. Report this Post to the Staff

nickelsearcher Moderator United States 15597 Posts	Posted 04/26/2017 05:39 am All appear to be environmental issues causing the darker toning. I posted a thread a while ago on my search for a complete 'blackened' Jefferson set ... just like these. They are not unusual at all to find while roll hunting.
