Hinkle Posted February 12, 2023 Share Posted February 12, 2023 Did the chrome platting not take on this coin. Is that why it looks blotchy in some areas. I have two and the other one is perfectly fine. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.Bill347 Posted February 13, 2023 Share Posted February 13, 2023 This coin was zinc coated. There are examples of Chrome plating missing on some and this may be one of those but even at that only worth a dollar or so. https://coinsandcanada.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greenstang Posted February 13, 2023 Share Posted February 13, 2023 In 1944/45 the nickels were chrome plated nickel. Not unusual for the chrome to wear off or get damaged in places. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
