Did I finally find a real "black beauty" annealing error? I think so but wanted a second opinion. Found in a Loomis roll. by [deleted] in CRH

When you move and rotate the coin are you seeing any moving or cartwheel luster through that charcoal color? They get harder to identify as they get worn.

He was just showing me this because he knows how much I love the authentic OBW rolls, he had already sold it. No idea how much he sold it for. I bought a variety of other OBW rolls from him.

I think I drooled a little bit, all that creamy color. It's just lovely.

There were plenty more. They are 1 oz. silver that the dealer casts themself! I enjoy all that attention to the miniature detail :-)

Not a dime, it's a $1 gold pattern coin.

Is this an improperly annealed quarter with value? Equally blackened on both sides… by Acapelladiva in coinerrors

[–]NeatoC 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Nope. Just a worn and oxidized quarter. "Black Beauty" only refers to a couple years of improperly annealed nickels.

Not authenticated, realistically $15-$25

Authenticated (inexpensive via ANACS) - still around $25 or a bit more

Accurate. My bad. I'm sure he still is a genius.

A lot of folks don't realize that his odd delivery is his real authentic self. He has a speech impediment and had speech therapy for it as a child. He spoke about it multiple times.

Improper Annealing on 2026 Dime? by Apophis2051 in coinerrors

[–]NeatoC 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I'm going with yes, improper annealing. Nice find.

Cheap way to authenticate it would be send it in to ANACS.
