iambulldogs New Member United States 42 Posts	Posted 02/19/2016 3:17 pm My question is about mid grade level War Nickels (lower than ms.) Is rainbow toning in mid lvl War Nickels something worth investing in? My local coin shop has 4 or 5 in the silver nickel box that look good and have nice rainbow colors. I can get them for cheap, because they aren't ms grade or double monticellos they don't get pulled for cases. Is there a market for mid lvl coins with beautiful rainbow toning? Or am I trying to outsmart the room lol Thx! Report this Post to the Staff

iambulldogs New Member United States 42 Posts	Posted 02/19/2016 4:53 pm biokemist, I agree, a few were clearly cleaned. A few however, had nice petina with small portions starting to rainbow. I know pics will be easier for you to judge, thx for helping! Report this Post to the Staff

BH1964 Bedrock of the Community United States 10982 Posts	Posted 02/20/2016 07:41 am Colorful War Nickels (35% silver) that are circulated are probably artificially toned. If they are cheap then why not buy them? Just don't expect to flip them for big premiums based on the color. ANA #R3154474 Report this Post to the Staff
