Thanks Report this Post to the Staff

EastVanRob Pillar of the Community Canada 617 Posts	Posted 02/12/2013 01:36 am The 1953 is what typical chrome plated steel nickels look like after heavy wear. The chrome rubs off or flakes off, especially on the high points. Add a bit of rust and you're good to go. This is probably why RCM invented the triple plating system for the current plated steel stuff. Report this Post to the Staff
