<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Paddy54, post: 3195034, member: 19250&quot;]From the looks and color of the specimens I say yes, however as a collector from my generation I always believed the term&quot; black beauties&quot; to refer to the 1959 series of nickels. If you research the term I believe the first were found in 1959 in MS coins.</p><p>Others do&nbsp; believe ,or have considered dates around 1959 to be sintered platchets coins also.</p><p>This series has produced some colorful toned and dark specimens in both proof and mint state coins durring the late 50&#039;s and early 60&#039;s.</p><p>I can also assure you environmental damage can also produce simular effects.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
