Old Codger NJ Valued Member United States 84 Posts	Posted 09/12/2024 6:52 pm Still after the elusive 2024 Nickel, I found this 1958 P gunmetal colored nickel. Several years ago there was a many-paged thread to show all the Black Beauties. This coin is in the right date range. Check out the steps too. Report this Post to the Staff

Dearborn Moderator United States 99460 Posts	Posted 09/12/2024 8:47 pm It sure is a pretty coin, what does the edge look like? Does it still have that mint luster to it also? Collecting since 1972.
