Alexer Pillar of the Community Canada 2632 Posts	Posted 10/07/2013 2:18 pm I have one similar..ie missing chrome, according to coins and canada the missing chrome nickels are worth a lot more. Why exactly I dont know. http://www.coinsandcanada.com/coins...ts-1953-2013 Report this Post to the Staff
middross Pillar of the Community Canada 695 Posts	Posted 10/07/2013 2:55 pm Doesn't look like it is missing chrome......still has that bluish colour. I have a 1953 that looks a lot like this on one side only as well. Not uncommon. Probably the way that is was being stored. Report this Post to the Staff
DEVLEC Pillar of the Community Canada 3234 Posts	Posted 10/07/2013 4:27 pm Were these plated with nickel before the chrome plating was added? Report this Post to the Staff
Alexer Pillar of the Community Canada 2632 Posts	Posted 10/07/2013 4:44 pm At first I thought, if it was plated and the plating is falling off for some reason it was worth more... but now I see they mean if the coin had missed the plating process then its worth more. Makes more sense to me now. I cant help but wonder how many I rolled back up and returned to the bank without thinking of that. oh well Report this Post to the Staff
