<p>[QUOTE="Joshua Lemons, post: 8125285, member: 82388"]I was already leaning this way. Y'all twisted my arm. Opened the side with a razor blade and slid this baby out. I'm a sucker for OGP. A standard proof set. The cent is especially nice, but as you can see, the nickel appears a bit darker than the rest of the coins. Normally I'd blame it on toning, but the other coins have no toning at all. I checked the edges and they are dark too. Could this be a Black Beauty? Since this is a pre 65 set, the nickel is the only CuNi coin, did the nickel tone while the silver coins stayed bright or could it be a sintered planchet? </p><p>[ATTACH=full]1414968[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1414969[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
