tooboocoo Valued Member United States 112 Posts	Posted 12/25/2020 11:04 pm I've been reading about the 58 and 59 black beauty nickel well I ran across this actually several 1963 philly mint sets and there is definitely something going on I'll post a couple pictures and let you call it in person it has a bluish black color to it like gun barrel bluing it still in the wrapper until someone says grade it thanks for looking Report this Post to the Staff

spruett001 Bedrock of the Community United States 11379 Posts	Posted 12/26/2020 12:12 am That's intriguing, but it's hard to say from the pics. Proof nickels can develop some interesting toning, commonly including shades of blue, so I have always been hesitant to label any proofs as "black beauties."

tooboocoo Valued Member United States 112 Posts	Posted 12/31/2020 4:22 pm I cant believe that out of all you people out there I have only received three responses and one of the three had no comment so I take it as this isn't anything special seems like nobody is interested well thanks for looking anyways everyone Report this Post to the Staff
Pacificoin Pillar of the Community Canada 3755 Posts	Posted 12/31/2020 4:32 pm First it is a proof nickel , not a mint set nickel. Second it is a toned nickel , which by the way is very common . Never did get all this black beauty stuff , simply toned coins from a minor annealing problem . Third never seen anyone in my 40 plus years ever really pay up for one . Report this Post to the Staff
T-BOP Bedrock of the Community United States 14877 Posts	Posted 01/15/2021 3:31 pm I would really like to see that coin out of it's wrapper . By the way you are describing it it sure looks and sounds like a Black Beauty . Although I've never seen a 1963 BB . I've seen rolls of 1959-P and heard of a couple of other Philly dates .
