RandyK6371 New Member United States 41 Posts	Posted 09/11/2022 2:30 pm I know that this has been asked and answered before. I also know that I can not find a verified example in the research that I have done. But, for the life of me, I can not come up with an answer to this coin that I purchased in an old collection. A 1937 Buffalo nickel that looks to be a 'Black Beauty'. I have Jefferson examples and the color sure appears the same. All I can say is that I am perplexed. * Edited by Staff to Add Year to Title.

jacrispies Pillar of the Community United States 3848 Posts	Posted 09/11/2022 2:38 pm Appears to be heat damage. Sometimes dark nickels are metal detecting finds, but the color is wrong. This coin has dark black and blue colors, ground nickels usually have some red in them. Suffering from bust half fever. Want to learn how to attribute early half dollars by die variety?

robbudo Pillar of the Community United States 2757 Posts	Posted 09/11/2022 6:39 pm attractive coin, but I'm in the fire/heat camp on this one. Report this Post to the Staff
Spence Moderator United States 34397 Posts	Posted 09/11/2022 7:04 pm I agree with PMD of some sort since the actual metal color is visible in a couple tick marks along the rim and on the date.

sheldius Pillar of the Community United States 1204 Posts	Posted 09/13/2022 10:54 pm Nothing wrong with that Randy. People happily collect toned coins for just the same reason. While others consider it tarnish / damage and only collect pristine coins. Report this Post to the Staff
