Hey guys and gals! I'm trying to put together a set of black beauty jeffersons 1938-1964. I've looked through ebay and only been able to find some late 50's specimiens. Have you been finding any or seeing any around. Hit me with a PM if you got some for sale.
I don't believe these came from the mint that way but rather were ordinary nickels that suffered some sort of chemical or environmental exposure. You can actually make your own.
GC, You may want to study this thread we've had going about Black Beauties. I think You will find it is impossible to do a set. They are really only known to be 1953, 58,59 and maybe 1960 and only from the P mints. There is a lot of info in this thread: http://goccf.com/t/288744
I challenge you to get a set of TPGed Black Beauties of the known dates....I have a 59
If you want you put a set of Black Beauties together from 1938-1964 you'll have to find them on another planet . I realize a lot of members don't believe true genuine BB even exist . The most common one is 1959-P but a few in the later 50's are known to exist . Yes I'm a believer as I have rolls of 1959-P Black Beauties that were found between 1960 & 1963 .
