It appears to be environmental toning. A true BB would be the same color all around.

agreed, it is environmental toning - as stated, it will have the same color all over (including the edge, and will also have a nice luster to it as well.
Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on

Right - you were told wrong. Looks like dug nickel.
Be wary of the person that told you it was a "Black Beauty"
