Please take a look and let me know what you think. I also put 1959-D for color comparison. Thanks in advanced!

I'm just going to follow this thread to learn but it looks like it has the right luster. I have heard they can be faked....so I don't know. But I like the looks of it. Hope it's a real Black Beauty.

That's a pretty dark one! I agree with Buddy on the luster.

Overall, it looks like the real deal to me and in excellent shape!

That has to be a Black Beauty. It doesn't look altered in anyway. Great find. Owning a Black Beauty is nice.
