Proof nickels can develop some interesting toning, commonly including shades of blue, so I have always been hesitant to label any proofs as "black beauties."

Pacificoin Pillar of the Community Canada 5404 Posts	Posted 12/31/2020 4:32 pm First it is a proof nickel , not a mint set nickel. Second it is a toned nickel , which by the way is very common . Never did get all this black beauty stuff , simply toned coins from a minor annealing problem . Third never seen anyone in my 40 plus years ever really pay up for one . Report this Post to the Staff
T-BOP Rest in Peace United States 18456 Posts	Posted 01/15/2021 3:31 pm I would really like to see that coin out of it's wrapper . By the way you are describing it it sure looks and sounds like a Black Beauty . Although I've never seen a 1963 BB . I've seen rolls of 1959-P and heard of a couple of other Philly dates .

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 01/15/2021 6:27 pm Leaving these in the mint cellos can turn the coin different colors: Some are annealed to long and turn dark in color: These are MS-examples, all found in a roll.
