I know this has been a debate that has ebbed and flowed across this list many times.  I 
want to point everyone to this fabulous picture of Thunda - a Queensland iron that 
clearly shows a crust of differentiated iron surrounding a 'typical' iron core.  This, in 
my mind, is a stupendous example of an iron meteorite with a fantastic fusion crust.

My thanks to Bob Walker for bringing this to the public eye.
