1935s nickel

Re: Black Beauty nickels

Re: Black Beauty nickels

Hi again. Those that I sold were $75 for MS63 and $100 for MS64. I took the prices I saw on line and sliced them by better than half.

Re: Black Beauty nickels

Sure, I would. I sent a whole roll of 1959 nickels to ANACS. They came back MS63/64 black beauties. They said "Improper alloy mix." When I asked ANACS why they called them that, they said both they and PCGS agreed that is why they are Black or gray! Dan

Re: 1959 Black beauty nickel?

I sent a roll of those to ANACS. All came back as Black Beauties, although some were black, some were like gunmetal gray or even lighter. All said "Improper Ally Mix" graded MS63 or MS64. When I asked why they said that, they stated that they and PCGS agreed that was why they are BLACK!!
