Ok I REALLY hesitate to post this because the odds are not in favor of this being noteworthy. But nothing ventured... I routinely dump my pocket change and leftover bills into a container at the end of the day. Tonight I decided to check out what had accumulated in the last few months. among the zincolns and state quarters I had a 1961 nickel. A very dark looking nickel. I tossed it into the pile heading to a bank’s coin counter. But I remembered reading about the Black Beauties. Curious I looked them up and saw they were 1959 coins. And then I saw there were some posts on this forum where there were some ‘61s. I dug it out of the pile and now present it to you. Black Beauty or the victim of a fire?
