DBM Pillar of the Community Canada 9866 Posts	Posted 02/26/2011 2:20 pm To conserve nickel for the war effort 5cent tombacs were made (88% copper,12% zinc).EF45 seems about right. Report this Post to the Staff

SHAFTA9a Bedrock of the Community Canada 10743 Posts	Posted 02/26/2011 3:14 pm Yeah.. I agree with EF-45. You, know It's funny about these Tombacs, I have 2 or 3 and they all seem to be about EF or better. People must have saved them, when they first were issued. Report this Post to the Staff

sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21788 Posts	Posted 02/26/2011 8:22 pm I did a type set of Canadian nickels for not much money, and this for me was the hardest. I guess harder to do if you are Sydney (Oz) based. Mine is about the same condition. Report this Post to the Staff
