<p>[QUOTE="Vess1, post: 1147554, member: 13650"]That's a beauty you got there! Great purchase. I think something to keep in mind here is that all nickels are actually 75% COPPER and only 25% nickel. And we all know how reactive copper can be. I'm actually surprised we don't see more toned examples of nickels. I'm not a chemist so I don't know if the nickel in it tends to stabilize them but you don't see an abundance of toned nickels around. </p><p><br /></p><p> You know, I wouldn't worry about it. For that condition and that color, $175 was a steal. I'd sleep well over that purchase.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
