Nice one nickelsguy!
The '44s were plated with nickel, then chrome. Are there any with no plating whatsoever, just bare steel?

How rare are the raw steel coins?
For pricing and grading, are they just considered as "missing chrome"?

Partial Chrome. Does that give you partial credits? :)
I do like it, especially the title. How many are labelled that way I wonder?

The coins with partial chrome are/can be tough to find.

I have always been curious as to whether the missing chrome nickels can be faked. If the chrome was put on with an electrolysis process could that not be reversed and the chrome removed? I am certainly not looking to do any experimentation but with pricing being so high on some of these coins, you would think it would attract counterfeiters.

This is what the only 1944 tombac looks like, and it's up for sale on E-Bay right now (https://www.ebay.com/itm/1944-Georg...SwomVa5ih0):

This was a PCGS Regency holder in the early 90 as a kind of premium slab for mostly the Danny Kaye actor for his collection, some people pay wacky money for ordinary coins in this slab, it's the exact opposite buy the holder not the coin.

I think that is perfectly acceptable, given that the coin this thread is about, and being unique, was just recently listed for sale...
