[QUOTE="Michael K, post: 3870034, member: 78298"]Most of the black beauty nickels are 1958 and 1959 but there are other dates. Yours is rusted/ environmental damage. If the rim is the same color as the coin, it's not an annealing error. (I believe this is because after the planchets have been annealed and cooled, they go through a machine to upset the rim, before being minted. This makes the rim the brighter nickel color while the obv and rev are still darker from being improperly annealed. Please correct me if this is wrong.) There are a couple of threads here with excellent photos of true black beauties. I suggest you use the search box, bring up those threads, and read about it, and compare those photos to your coin.[/QUOTE]
