jbuck Moderator United States 187702 Posts	Posted 01/14/2025 12:02 pm Interesting find. Probably just toning, but I am prepared to be wrong. I like the look so a keeper either way.

spru Bedrock of the Community United States 12477 Posts	Posted 01/15/2025 03:21 am Do you own any other Black Beauty nickels to compare it to? The overall look makes me think it is due to environmental factors (toned).

nickelsearcher Moderator United States 15395 Posts	Posted 01/15/2025 06:29 am IMO this is not a true Black Beauty but a nickel that has experienced environmental toning. I called them Blackened Jefferson. Back when I was CRH for my roll found set I collected them as a side bar. Your coin would have been a nice addition to the set. Here is an older post I provided on the topic: http://goccf.com/t/248676 Take a look at my other hobby ... http://www.jk-dk.art Report this Post to the Staff
chadcoins Pillar of the Community Canada 1159 Posts	Posted 01/15/2025 10:38 am Nickelsearcher I did check out that older post of yours and a very impressive collection you have there. I did notice its missing the 1980D, I'm only a Canadian content collector and have no need for that coin. Just a note here I did find mint state black 2007 dimes here in Canada from new rolls and the cause was over cooked on the minting prosses. One more note it comes with a 25% tariff!! Just kidding!!
