il0vefluttershy New Member United States 1 Posts	Posted 03/14/2020 05:49 am So I am brand new to this site and with coin collection in general. I came across this 2005 D stamped Ocean in View nickel while I was counting down my till at work last week and was just curious if someone could tell me if it's a black beauty nickel or not? And if it's not, could someone please explain what is up with this coin? (Meaning painted/colored on, badly tarnished, etc.) Really curious and intrigued... The coin on the left is the coin that's in question, and the coin on the right is a normal 2006 nickel used for comparison. Report this Post to the Staff

T-BOP Rest in Peace United States 18456 Posts	Posted 03/14/2020 07:59 am Can't argue that that's a very dark Nickel but it's not a BB . If it was the whole planchet would be dark Cobalt . See how the edge of the coin is not dark on both sides , and you can't say the edges wore down revealing a normal color Nickel . Report this Post to the Staff
