SirKayDeVonKwon New Member Canada 47 Posts	Posted 08/29/2019 11:09 pm Hello Coin Community Members I have a coin from 1954 SF 5 cent coin. It look shinnier than previous article inquiries of 1953 NSF 5 cent coin. Is this coin still has mintage on it? and how is nickel is different between chrome plated and missing chrome? Thank you, Sincerely SirKayDeVonKwon * Moved by Staff moved to a more appropriate forum. * Report this Post to the Staff

nickelsguy Pillar of the Community Canada 2301 Posts	Posted 08/31/2019 3:44 pm ICCS quit grading them after they graded a bunch of CIRCULATED coins which had been chemically altered (chrome removed). You can not remove chrome from an uncirculated coin and not see that it has been done. ICCS took the easy way out rather than researching and admitting they were wrong. Report this Post to the Staff
