It's a cud or it's damage. I can't tell.

 

I'm new to this so I don't know . Trying to learn a couple things ! Thanks

 

kinda looks like it was added .. such as solder ... PMD
but difficult to determine

 

problem is with PMD .. it could be literally a billion things. leave it up to one's imagination of what ppl can do to things. Does it look like solder ??

 

To feel it it seems like part of the nickel. I'm just a rookie here but I work with my hands a lot and know a great deal about iron , steel and metal work. Nothing added in my opinion.

 

Safe bet it is some sort of damage. Based on the wear on that nickel, it has certainly passed through many collector's hands over the last 60 years who would have removed it from circulation if it was an error of any particular note.

 

What year is it may be some errors Doubled dies and RPMs Also looks to be cleaned never clean your coins

 

A cud. Kool. Keep it. Not a wholee lot of them around. Not valuable but different

 

What does the obv. look like?

 

The metal has been added imo, just PMD.

 

@Weyandt That is not a Black Beauty. Yours is an old dirty Nickel
