Hermz Valued Member United States 181 Posts	Posted 04/12/2020 12:56 pm Found a wartime nickel crh, seems like it has light "brass " color coming through the silver. Didn't think silver tones like that? I still can't believe whoever rolled the nickels didn't notice this one though. Thanks all Report this Post to the Staff

Hermz Valued Member United States 181 Posts	Posted 04/12/2020 1:06 pm Thanks everyone, was very excited to pull silver for the first time and not in horrible condition either I think. Either way. Just thought the brass looking tone was odd for silver. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 04/12/2020 1:06 pm In an atmosphere with more sulfur in the air, silver tends to turn yellow in color when it tones. (Often in the areas where a lot of factories are smelting iron, the sulfur content is higher there) Thus the yellow color on the coins are blamed on this. Report this Post to the Staff
