While sorting through my circulation finds (separate thread on varieties) ..... I came across three Jefferson that I believe are know as 'Black Beauty". Two are dated 1958 and one is dated 1959.

Here is a prior thread on the subject .....

The name is somewhat of a misnomer as these coins in hand are not 'black' ..... best described as a dark gunmetal gray to my eye.

Here is a photo of the 1959 .... I grade in the AU range and in hand exhibits a wonderful luster below the uniform gray surface. Both 1958 exhibit a similar luster as well.

Three-

An interesting 'variety' that does not get much mention.

Nice one and they don't get much talk.....I found two BU 59's in my soda machine last year and really had to dig for information..sent one to ANACS just to verify and it came back MS-63...I really wondered where they came from though.
