Surf-city-NC Valued Member United States 137 Posts	Posted 12/02/2017 09:51 am Neither of these look right tome. I'm thinking that the 43 was definately plated. The 36 on the other hand I'm way less sure of. It looks too yellow and shiny, but doesn't look cleaned. Could it have been cleaned years ago or just have a unique patina? On a side note, could that be anything other than PMD on the reverse of the 36? Report this Post to the Staff

John77 Pillar of the Community United States 2917 Posts	Posted 12/02/2017 10:33 am I agree with T-BOP... one thing I'll add though is does anyone know what a repro 1943 looks like after it has circulated a little? I've seen similar coins to this one and have always just assumed they were just repros which ended up getting recirculated. CRH Nickeloholic. 1,600,000 nickels searched in eight years!
