Dearborn & Cujohn, maybe the background color in the photo is making it appear more golden than it is. The coin is slightly underweight so it wouldn't make sense that it was plated which would likely make it slightly overweight.

Well it took awhile but I finally got this one certified from PCGS. I had to get this one graded since there was so much skepticism over the color. I never doubted that this coin was an annealing error, but I understand why folks did. The color is just too unique and the other "Black Beauty's" from this year don't look anything like it.

I really enjoy these errors and am happy to own this very unique and early example.

I am also happy to see I nailed the grade of MS62 in my first post thoughts.

Congratulations on the grade and getting it slabbed. I'm glad it was a BB.
