Canadian nickels missing chrome

Hi everyone,

I was flipping through one of my catalogues and noticed that there are chrome plated and “No Chrome” varieties for a few years of canadian nickels, mainly 1944 and 1945 (not listed on numista). It mentions the missing chrome nickels appearing dull gray while the chrome plated nickels are bluish-white.

The only photographed examples I've found are relatively shiny and do not have a lot a wear. I am wondering if anyone could help me 1) identify mine, and 2) provide a resource that could help be differentiate in the future.

Thanks!

The ones missing the chrome platting are probably considered a mint error which usually doesn't have its own year line. There is one example on this page but, as you say, it's one without wear and probably protected right out of the mint.  I have to believe any that were released in circulation for some time would have a rusted steel appearance.
