I do like them in top condition, they're silvery looking !  |

I've always liked them!
I've bought bags of them over the years and pull out the nicest ones with nice, original surfaces. The worn ones, along with the rusty and reprocessed ones, get rolled up and sent off to the wholesalers.
I've got a pretty good stash! It's amazing what some dealers toss into their "junk" bins!

Exactly Mark. Although I still keep the crappy ones (the ones in very crappy condition) in my Wheat cent bag still. Errers and Varietys.

Never could see any purpose in plating them. If for a higher price when selling, possibly, but then why put them back in change?

Yes. I also like the 1944 Belgium 2 Francs struck at Philadelphia on the same planchets.

"Do you like steel cents?"
Yes, when they are dated 1944.

I knew I had one somewhere. My wife found it between the sofa cushions. Can you believe that?  |

I'd like to get some high grade ones. Always thought they were neat. Have a few hundred circulated ones laying around

One of my favorite childhood numismatic memories is our backdoor neighbors had a large pickle jar, like a deli size one, full of 1943 cents, and they were kept in Quaker State motor oil. The oil would darken over a few years my friend's Dad would say, and they would then 'change the oil.' It sat up on the mantle in their den.  |

The pics in MS condition are nice! I have a couple in decent shape, but may try to get an uncirculated one now. I like the steel cent because it is unique and the history behind the rationale for it. It reminds me of the Canadian 1942-43 tombac five cent coins, which didn't hold up too well either.
