Going thru an interesting roll of 1963-D BU Nickels, found a handful of RPM-001s and then pulled out this beauty, thought to share.   |

Hmm , very interesting ! That is not environmental toning , sure looks like it's improperly annealed .

I just can't get a better pic of it considering using the scope. But I agree it is not toned and it was not the end coin neither, the color is uniformly even on both sided.

Does it resemble a black beauty? I can't tell from the photos.

If the overall color is the same despite circulation wear, it could be a BB? But depending on lighting that might be the differences: Side by side with a normal coin might help more:    If were there is coin wear, and the color is lighter, then it could be an altered coin color issue. Check also the outside edges of the coin to compare with? |

Sorry for late reply, had to work.
@nick10 ,it does resemble .
@coop, it is an uncirculated Nickel with no wear and the color in the image is the true color.

Another variety/error I know little about but trying to learn, it looks cool though! So are the black beauties considered varieties or errors? I would assume an error?

Chase007, Looks nice. Weather it is a true BB or not is going to be next to impossible to know because I read somewhere that anyone can make a BB in their own home. John1  |

Nice looking nickel. Like that color. Quote:

I'm in the same boat about nickels but I believe this would be an error (not a variety). Words of encouragement are one of the major food groups.
We need to consume them regularly to thrive and grow.

John1 John ,This coin came out of an original bank wrapped roll ( OBW ) I can hardly believe someone at the mint or Federal Reserve Bank heated this one Nickel and then placed it in that roll . Just sayin . |

@makecents,same here Nickels were not my thing till recently and limited to buying errors. @john1, I pulled this from OBW roll and it's seeing the day light for the first time since 1963 have one mre 63-D and Two 63-P rolls that I'm itching to open.  @kenw, Petsp, Dearborn, thank you. T-BOP you are correct. |

John , I just looked at your purchase from 2017 about that Nickel . I'm hesitating to call it a Black Beauty but I might be wrong .  |
