Spence Moderator United States 34411 Posts	Posted 04/27/2020 06:28 am @brett, we see a wide array of surface staining and toning on these silver War Nickels. I think that your '43-D is more attractive than most.

T-BOP Rest in Peace United States 18456 Posts	Posted 04/27/2020 06:54 am Brett , when you have a question about a coin you have to show us full coin photos of obverse and reverse . It will better help us to determine what's going on with that coin . From the little that I can see , your coin is worn with some damage . It also looks like it was cleaned long ago and someone started to artificially tone it . I'm giving this assessment because a worn circulated War Nickel virtually never turns a rainbow color .

kanga Pillar of the Community United States 5825 Posts	Posted 04/27/2020 08:50 am I consider it unusual. Most rainbow toning on nickels are light in color (pastels). But being a War Nickel can cause it to tone a bit differently. Report this Post to the Staff

CoinHunter27 Pillar of the Community United States 5887 Posts	Posted 04/27/2020 4:20 pm I'd say it was cleaned at some point. Whatever was used to clean it colored it odd. -CH27 Collector of U.S. Coins, Varieties, and Colonial Coinage Report this Post to the Staff
