I have this black 1966 Quarter. It looks pretty cool. Can someone tell me if it is possible that this could be considered a "Black Beauty" quarter.

Environmental damage. Spendable.

Agree. Possibly buried at some point.

Note how the original color is coming back onto the coin on the highest areas. That wear off to the orignal color show that there is a coating on the coin. If there was not silver color coming back, then it wouldn't be a environmental issue with the coin. As mentioned it is a spender. When the coin was first found the color was a dark brown. In circulation it will turn black, then the upper parts of the devices will start the march back to gray and the fields turn last:

Eventually the coin will look like this. That is the life of a coin that becomes homeless and then found again. Some like the look.

But they go through a lot of ugly to get back to looking normal again.

Environmental tarnishing/staining/toning. Chemical soil acidity probably the cause. Not worth keeping in my opinion.
