Sounds like the right thing to do seeings anyone could remove the chrome. IMO

edit
I did a read on these about a month ago, they're scarce and hard to find yet everyone and their brother has one for sale on the internet.
That really erks me. To much fake stuff out there. Past couple months I've become very apprehensive about what I see for sale.

I can't imagine that would be something easy to do, especially on a mint state coin. The surface lustre would be altered...

I have to ask is that why ICCS stopped certifying these nickels?
There are several methods though regardless..
