laxmaster92 Member United States 1154 Posts	Posted 10/23/2006 9:51 pm Hi everyone. Ive heard about these " Black BEauty" Nickles minted in 1958 and 1959. Are these errors? Why do these nickles get this color? Report this Post to the Staff

Southern Yankee Pillar of the Community United States 891 Posts	Posted 10/24/2006 5:47 pm I have heard of them but never actually seen one. Are these only limited to the business strikes or are there some in proof? Report this Post to the Staff
