Any chance this is a "Black Beauty" nickel?

"Improperly annealed" is the proper term I guess.

I sincerely hope I'm not being naive here.



P. S. I know some of the pics are upside down.

So.. questions for you
Where did you acquire your Nickel? Roll? Change? Metal detected?
Have you attempted to clean it? Don't!

 

It looks like a good candidate but not 100% sure. Your first 2 pictures are the best.
Here are mine from my collection

 

Coin roll hunting

 

I say all signs point to yes.....

 

Are there die marks to find? Could someone have electroplated/dipped a "normal" 1959?
