Ali83 Valued Member United States 98 Posts	Posted 08/21/2024 10:59 pm Why is this dime completely black and almost perfect. There is no silver on it (though there is a shine in the pictures) There's really no damage or rough spots. It weighs 2.24 grams. Is this a cousin to the black beauty nickle? That seems to be the closest I've found.. Report this Post to the Staff

It is a problem with the alloy and/or the annealing process, so it happens before the coin is struck. http://goccf.com/t/288744 Coin Collector Since 1978 Avatar Old Avatar 7070 Eisenhower Australia Canada World CCF Members on eBay CCF eBay Search Engine Report this Post to the Staff
