<p>[QUOTE=&quot;John Burgess, post: 8202466, member: 105098&quot;]Yes annealing errors on flat edge coins appear opposite of reeded edge coins and are dark on the edge. Reeded edge coin colors are more like dies than retainers and impress the edge dramatically.</p><p>Strike luster is the one diagnostic that encompasses either denomination. If the coloration happened before the strike the strike luster will still be present through the coloration,&nbsp; if it happens after the strike it interferes with the strike luster, it doesn&#039;t flow as you&#039;d expect it to.</p><p><br /></p><p>Well circulated coins that have lost their strike luster would be very difficult, if at all, to attribute to an annealing error in my opinion. I think there is a time point of circulation wear where determining is just lost. A lot like the experimental rinse sacagawea dollars.</p><p><br /></p><p>Your pictures #4 and 5, of the 3 coins and the edge, look really right to me for a 58 black beauty but I&#039;m not an expert or professional, just a hobbyist with massive interest. I&#039;d personally gamble on getting it attributed and would think it&#039;s a near sure thing if it were mine compared to others I&#039;ve seen.</p><p><br /></p><p>Is a black beauty worth the fees for attribution and peace of mind? I don&#039;t really know.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
