[QUOTE="dreamer94, post: 351365, member: 6449"]I've never seen anything like the color of these shield nickels, all offered by the same seller. The listings don't say anything about the strange color. [URL="http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-1751-2978-71/1?AID=5463217&PID=2803353&loc=http%3A%2F%2Fsearch.ebay.com%2F_W0QQsassZgregory5657"]http://search.ebay.com/_W0QQsassZgregory5657[/URL] Given that they all look the same, I supposed the most likely explanation is that they are false color pictures, but why would someone do that? I also remember from my college chemistry classes that nickel sulfate has a beautiful blue green color, so perhaps these were treated chemically in some way. I asked the seller if he can explain it.[/QUOTE]
