Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 09/08/2021 2:45 pm I wonder if anyone told ANACSA that? Report this Post to the Staff

I know you don't believe in BB's and I'm pretty sure you know that I do . How do I know ? Because I have rolls of them, 1959 phillys all cobalt bluish grey that I bought from an old collector back in the early 60's because they looked so odd , I said to myself these suckers will be sought after someday . Many years later I read an article about improper annealing of 1958 and 1959 Nickels , Also a few 1955 were discovered . Later to be known as '' Black Beauty's '' So I am confident I'm sitting on a nice cache of Critters . Unfortunately I am not able to post photos . Report this Post to the Staff
