I do not see the doubling nor RPM on the cent, sorry Jim

 

Your nickel looks to be environmentally toned. I like nickels with that particular appearance. I've set several aside to create an environmentally toned set...coins with a cameo type appearance somewhat like the Black Beauty 1959s. The '59s are the result of annealing whereas your specimen is related to environmental conditions.

 

Thank you very much

 

Could this be 1959 black beauty

 

Not a black beauty, but another environmentally affected specimen. I have a separate container that I put these into with the aim to complete a set of Jefferson Nickels that have an appearance like the last two you posted. You may want to consider doing the same. The idea was presented to me a few years ago, where another enthusiast put together a set like this. It was actually pretty impressive looking. It's kind of funny how something most of us would toss into a junk pile is given a new perspective by the insight of a person who managed to see the beauty/interest in something 'ugly'. I think it's like the unrestored classic automobile you see on the rebuild shows where they decide against a fresh coat of paint to keep the original weathered patina...including scale rust...on a restored classic. The artists amongst us help us to see and appreciate things.
