saginawoutlaw New Member United States 1 Posts	Posted 10/21/2014 12:46 pm I bought this coin 1943 S Gold War Time Silver Nickel for 50 cents at a pawn shop. I was wanting an opinion on what you all think about it. I've seen others with a gold tarnished tint but not one this gold. Any input would be appreciated. * Edited by Staff to clarify topic title.
