Dcadon Rest in Peace Canada 1360 Posts	Posted 02/15/2014 6:39 pm My understanding was that there were steel ones, and 'tombac' nickles. Nickle itself was being used in the war effort, and unavailable for currency. (no, the chrome wasn't worn off the brassy one) Report this Post to the Staff

DBM Pillar of the Community Canada 9864 Posts	Posted 02/15/2014 8:56 pm You've got chrome so you're not missing chrome, you're missing missing chrome as well as '44 tombac. "Dipping" is not considered cleaning... -from PCGS website Edited by DBM 02/15/2014 9:02 pm Report this Post to the Staff

DBM Pillar of the Community Canada 9864 Posts	Posted 02/16/2014 09:15 am Nice one nickelsguy! The '44s were plated with nickel, then chrome. Are there any with no plating whatsoever, just bare steel? "Dipping" is not considered cleaning... -from PCGS website Report this Post to the Staff

DBM Pillar of the Community Canada 9864 Posts	Posted 02/16/2014 09:41 am How rare are the raw steel coins? For pricing and grading, are they just considered as "missing chrome"? "Dipping" is not considered cleaning... -from PCGS website Report this Post to the Staff

Bm0ney Pillar of the Community Canada 1005 Posts	Posted 02/16/2014 10:27 am Partial Chrome. Does that give you partial credits? :) I do like it, especially the title. How many are labelled that way I wonder? Report this Post to the Staff
