<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Pickin and Grinin, post: 24860415, member: 73995&quot;][USER=139821]@71Avalon[/USER] all of the original Black Beauties were dated 58 and 59 from the Philly Mint. This is when they were coined the term. The only one that has labeled them as BB is ANACS. Everyone else labels them what they are and that is Improperly Annealed. These dark Nickels can be found all the way back to 53 in Nickels. But if any coin is left in the annealing process for too long, or too high of temp etc. They are certainly an Imp Annealed coin. And yes they should have all their original luster.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
