Danester Valued Member United States 213 Posts	Posted 08/12/2012 12:35 pm Looks like an Earl Scheib job to me. "I'll paint any 1943 Lincoln steel cent, any color for $29.95". Not Butts about it !! Edited by Danester 08/12/2012 12:37 pm Report this Post to the Staff

ninamason Pillar of the Community United States 1227 Posts	Posted 08/12/2012 8:20 pm It looks like the copper has actually kept the coin in better condition. I know that technically the plating is considered PMD, but if it was real it'd be, what--MS60, MS62? I would say that alone makes it a keeper. It's a lovely example of how the design translated to steel, but well-preserved by the copper. Report this Post to the Staff
Gyrene7483 Pillar of the Community United States 1704 Posts	Posted 08/13/2012 01:09 am Very well done and it even has some mint luster on the obverse. Looks like an ebay item for sure. "Bought at an estate sale. I know nothing about coins. You decide what the grade is. No returns." LOL! Ed ANA LM-3175 Report this Post to the Staff
