Now the cat is out of the bag. 

I assume you want it slabbed for your registry set because the original 1964-D nickel posted looks like a pretty good album coin.

I will just pick up a new/old 64 D at auction. That Omaha MS 66 was only $13  maybe I can find a  MS67 cheap  either way I will pull the Omaha Bank coin off the registry. That roll coin is a MS66 in my mind but I would never send in a coin for grading unless it was worth $200 or more.    

I am sorry but I see coins marked (Cleaned) way to much . Most of the time I think it is marked that way to be safe and not have to commit to a grade. This coin is old and I am sure it has been rubbed the wrong way a few times.

I know I have

I would probably just keep it as a piece of interest and pick up a new 64 D unless you really want it reholdered. Nice roll find by the way. 

Ya know I was thinking the same thing last night after I logged out. For what I paid for it. I think keeping it just like that is good enough. I can get another one.  Yes nice rolls, Home rolls taste the best a little bit of mix in the rolls ...

You can send the coin in to NGC for them to correct the mechanical error, call customer service explain the problem and they should get you squared away.   The last time I had this happen NGC took care of the problem and picked up the shipping both ways.

That works, I will give them a call on Monday.

Well, hopefully when you look at the 1964 (P) 5C in your set it has a "D" mint mark! 

Na that didn't work.  I guess I will just get a real 64 D .... Again ... to bad. I liked the pedigree label.  I wonder if NGC would fix this after all these years it has been this way.   

So here is a good one. I thought I would look up my NGC slabbed 1964 D to make a comparison with this coin . The only problem is my NGC Certified coin is mislabeled and not a 1964 D it is a 1964  no D ? is that worth more $. LoL  Now what,    it is in the registry as labeled and it is a older holder ? I got this coin at auction over a year ago with four coins total on the delivery. I must have looked at the coin a half dozen times and never even thought to check the mint mark. I must be slacking or getting old. 

I also picked up some Home Rolls today. I cant wait to see what may be in these rolls

I bet that is a die crack from two o’clock to four. If that was a scratch, NGC would have body bagged that coin with no grade.

I was looking at this shot on a close up and it just looks like a scratch skipping over the clouds. And the obverse is nothing special for a MS 67. It is a Top Pop https://www.ngccoin.com/certlookup/6863218-003/67/

Primer for Newbies on Roosters:

https://learn.apmex.com/learning-guide/the-20-franc-gold-rooster/

So that article is saying that roosters are not as rare as hens teeth. 

Lucy. We have not seen the other side but I have to say. Getting a 67 on that coin was a gift . It has lots of hits and a scratch that goes from two a clock to four a clock. I hope you have some more with good grades out of 30 coins.  

Sorry you had to learn the hard way Lucy.. Bill and Greenstang are correct. Most TPG do not recognize many of the items you asked for unless it is a very rare error. Now days any true error is very hard to find.

I never discuss my losses....LOL!    I ended up with about two rolls of nickels by the end of the trip. No 2009's though.

Here is a 04 I thought you might like I got out of a bank roll not long ago. Yours is a D so it has a nice strike.

So many of the uncirculated 1975's are in horrible shape. This one seems to be typical. 

Sorry to say .You will find that most of the older P + D mint sets you pick up will have coins that are not that great. No FT. FB, FS lots of dings and scrapes.  

A nice one. How many nickels did you win......LoL

I would say if the rim looks just like the rest of the coin, you may have stumbled upon one. If it was an alloy mix issue, the rim also would have the same appearance. Getting that environmental damage will also affect the rim, I think you have collected nickels long enough to know the difference between an alloy mixture issue and environmental damage @J P M.

Neat find!

Yes the rim is the same color you can see that is the first photo . Even where it is worn on the obverse, reverse and the edge it is still darker than normal. Here is another shot without the USB scope. I think this one will go in the coin tin with the other oddballs.

Start a new set for 

“Invention Series” for silver eagles ms

Thanks Lew

I may have found what you are asking for. This was a coin on E-bay for sale. I am not sure how many coins are in the set?  https://www.ngccoin.com/certlookup/6806131-018/70/

Even in mint state why in the world would you even be thinking about submitting one to a TPG when you can easily scoop a readily available

I have been saying this for years. There are plenty of nice coins out there all ready enslaved other people have spent good money on that I can buy for a minimal price.

Much better pics, I would agree that it looks pretty black, and a beauty at that.

I also wanted to say sorry everyone about those USB shots. I posted those this morning before I left for the day . I just got back a while ago and did not realize how unrealistic the LED lighting shots were until you all said something.

   Whatever this coin looked like when it was "new", I think that its current darkness, as well as the greenish substance on much of the surface, is the result of corrosion. I'd spend it.

That shot was with a USB scope.  It is not that green looking . Here is a different shot. It is still not worth grading  but it looks better with a normal shot.

I have an ANACS  certified 1959 Black Beauty Nickel. Ill post a photo from my home desk pic is not on my phone. This coin IMO is an authentic Black Beauty due to its particular color and mottled look of the coloring. Send it in to grade it just to get the designation. There are a few out there but not enough. Nice find.

Thanks for the vote of confidence Mike . Due to its condition it is a coin that would be last on my list to send in .. LoL

Sorry for butting in on the conversation but can't you get uncirculated 1975 sets that have this penny in it? Though if I remember right when I looked at the sets they had toning on them. I was looking for the dollar coin

If you want the dollar coin of 1975 it will have to be a Bicentennial. In 1975 the only coins with that date are Cents ,Nickels and Dimes. The Quarters, Half's and Dollars are all dated 1776/1976 

On 10/19/2023 at 12:59 PM, Simple Collector said:

There are several black beauty nickels listed on EBay that are certified as such by ANACS.

 

Yes I see a lot of stuff from ANACS even at other sites. .

I have never heard of a Black Beauty Nickel, but after a brief briefing and this pic I found, they look quite attractive.  In answer to your question, regarding your coin, I imagine that it may be hard to verify unless the coin was in AU/UNC shape to eliminate potential "environmental meddling".  I think the coin would be darker than your OBV, like the REV.  (Although pictures don't get justice through a computer, in hand it may be darker.

That 58 is almost MS. Yes that is why I said it was a Cull. We may never know for sure. I like to post stuff like this to get the opinions of other fellow collectors who get tired of looking at dryer and parking lot coins.
