T-BOP Rest in Peace United States 18456 Posts	Posted 08/01/2021 08:11 am A lot of so-called Black Beauties are created by heating them until they imitate that color . Your Nickel is not genuine . But genuine BB's do exist for 1959-P Jefferson nickels and a couple of other early dates . Report this Post to the Staff

Ballyhoo Pillar of the Community United States 1613 Posts	Posted 08/01/2021 09:22 am I actually had not heard of these, black beauties. For years I simply thought it a reference to the actual buffalo with the namesake used for the Indian Head nickel reverse. But I have seen these over my many years of collecting, assuming them to just be from environmental conditions reacting to the metal.

Luvdattcoin Valued Member United States 76 Posts	Posted 08/01/2021 09:52 am Well dang...I definitely wouldn't waste my time trying to make one and pass it off to the SEASONED EYES of the Community. Especially Ole COOP, I never held or seen a BB in person and this coin was in my change. Definitely closest thing I've had to pics and videos on the web. SO I gave it a try and all the first views with no replies got my hopes up cause I usually get shot down quick with expert information and facts. QUESTION...How do Ya'll know the first 1959 BB s weren't cooked in a oven for fun? It's a pretty slim category,type, and or coin denomination all in one. Report this Post to the Staff

John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 08/02/2021 04:22 am Chances are it is not a BB,but I did buy it only because of the sellers rep. Also,it does look a lot nicer in hand. John1 Report this Post to the Staff
