mgalb Valued Member Canada 78 Posts	Posted 03/10/2026 7:15 pm I found a 1953 no chrome in father in laws collection about 40 years ago....he was not a collector and never looked at the coins . Just a hoarder of coins which he tossed in giant pickling jars. I would never be able to get it graded I guess.. Report this Post to the Staff

Chrome bumpers were stripped a hundred years ago. The technology is pretty basic not Rocket science . Love the picture posted earlier of the Stanley Blue Holder . Report this Post to the Staff
Colhand1 Pillar of the Community United States 629 Posts	Posted 04/01/2026 2:21 pm I recently sent in 2 steel nickels to ANACS - they graded both as normal plating. When I discovered their error with this coin I called them and suggested they look at them more closely and see that this one didn't have the chromium finish. They kept the grade the same but added "no chromium" Nice to have it documented! Report this Post to the Staff
