I heard about these in another thread and I was like "hey don't I have one of those?" so I went through all my pre 60 jeffs and found what I think to be one. Can anyone explain to me what these are and if I have one? Oh and are they worth anything? http://img401.imageshack.us/img401/...blacksqi.jpg thanks
Based on your photo, I would say your coin is a 1959p Black Beauty- wheezydog will probably be along shortly and definitely let you know for sure like he did on mine.
Here is some information I found on how these were made. Whether these are worth the money these guy's are asking for , I don't know- I just posted this as a point of info, that's all.
This does look like one. They are improperly annealed planchets. Go to https://www.fredweinberg.com and he has some in his inventory for sale. They are in the misc error types. His certified ms64 is $125.
That's pretty cool! chuckster, I cant stand those guys, I mean they are so full of BS, its sickening, I called it quits after 2:40. Thanks though, atleast I learned how it happens, pyrbob, thanks for the link and what doesn't that guy have? Lots of money on that site! I wonder what this would go for?
Other than the "darker" color, is there any other way to confirm this coin being authentic. I mean for a "burnt or fried" planchet, I guess I answered my own question......
