Found this 1964 P Jefferson nickel in my bank roll of Nickels today. While th9s coin shows circulation damage and very tough to get a good picture of I thimk this is a nice coin and so I would show it. Take a look at the pics and let me know your thoughts and regards all.

I can see the normal silvery color on the rim which tells me it's not a BB nickel. It's environmental damage.

I agree, environmental damage, but still kinda cool. Make it a pocket piece and see it if forms a ciruclation cameo.

close, but not a BB. it has nice luster, but the rim detail shows the real color of the metal as it got scraped. BB nickels will be dark through all layers. including the edge.

Your coin is a great example of environmental toning - but not a black beauty.

I pursued an entire set of these ... you can read about it here if interested:
