Marv65 Bedrock of the Community United States 10484 Posts	Posted 10/03/2025 8:44 pm Environmental toning/damage. "Black Beauties" were nickels that had a planchet problem from improperly being annealed. Supposedly only from 1958 to 1959. Report this Post to the Staff

Dearborn Moderator United States 94786 Posts	Posted 10/04/2025 5:06 pm this type of toning we call circulation cameo, but it does not add anything to the coin in terms of value.
