Can tell ya 100% they are! Congrats! Found my two 58's in old partial folders. Nice surprise in a roll for sure, post in "The official Black Beauty" hthread the closeups!
Just the sheen on each gives it away. Once you've seen one up close, you know that look!

They look nice but I heard you can make them yourself pretty easyly. I would like to know the best way to tell a mint BB compared to a "homemade" one. John1  Edited by John1

John1....I sense a bunch of doubt in your reply. Probably the best way would be to send them in and pay $30.00 plus per coin to have someone say they certainly look like it and subsequently have them valued at $10.00. I am just sharing as they look legitimate to me and I didn't join CC to show counterfeit coins (unless I find a Henning). I am jacked that I found/saw them and just wanted to share.

Wildhare, Don't get the wrong idea about my comment. I just wanted to let "everyone" know of the possibility. Your coins look great . Could they also be considered "full steps"? I bought a 1962 BB and posted it here. I am not positive I got a good buy. http://goccf.com/t/280254John1 |

No problem John1. I checked out your older post and I would have to agree with you on that coin. I also read the other comments on artificially darkening a nickel. I had heard this last year, and wondered if it was true.....so I heated several nickels to 400+ degrees (oven) and then threw them in a snowbank. I suppose you could say that it darkened them, but without exception it turned the nickels red and blue. I have seen some of these artificially toned nickels for sale on ebay. My personal experience with natural toning on nickels is that they turn purple or have a gold hue, or both. |

Just be very sure of yourself when collecting darkened or blackened coins. They can be VERY easily faked with careful heat treatment. I know. I have done it myself just for fun with newly minted Australian copper nickel coins, and then put them back into circulation. You should see the looks on the checkout chick's faces when you present very shiny dark grey, or even shiny jet black coins for payment!  Auto checkouts can't detect them, and they are still perfectly legal tender. Edited by sel_69l
