LAalex323 New Member United States 11 Posts	Posted 11/17/2017 1:07 pm Im wondering if this is an error or just toning. Could it be a mis annealed planchet? Sorry about the photos had to crop them cause it was too big of a file * Moved by Staff to a more appropriate forum. * Report this Post to the Staff

Crazyb0 Rest in Peace 10197 Posts	Posted 11/17/2017 4:05 pm I'm going to go just by coloring, using the background of a marbled light gray. The Black witnessed is indicative of heat, yes this is what "annealing " is all about, but it is done in a controlled kiln at the mint. To just heat a coin by flame(torch, open flame, oven, propane grill) will over time change the metal to a DULL gray/black like your coin. This is(has been) a favorite "experiment" of high school students and arm chair coin expert wannabes working in their garage workshop. This is NOT an example of a "Black Beauty" annealing error. http://goccf.com/t/288744 Edited by Crazyb0 11/17/2017 4:09 pm Report this Post to the Staff
