JJHFL Valued Member United States 395 Posts	Posted 07/05/2013 3:46 pm Picked this up today as it had a nice bluish toning that caught my eye. Unfortunately the camera doesn't do the color justice. There is some doubling on the mint mark. In your opinions, am I looking at a repunched MM, Die Deterioration, or what is going on here? Thanks as always for the help! Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 07/05/2013 3:49 pm Looks like you have a re-processed coin with Die Deterioration. The two things you envision as a plus are a negative. Sorry Report this Post to the Staff
JJHFL Valued Member United States 395 Posts	Posted 07/05/2013 4:03 pm I didn't think I had something special, so no hurt feelings. Just wanted a second set of eyes. Although what indicates reprocessed to you? Is it the bluish tone I mentioned/that you see? I have a few sets of reprocessed steels, and I was leaning towards original by comparison with this one. Edge is dull compared to my reprocessed ones that seem uniform front to back and edge. On a side note, do TPGs slab reprocessed cents, or at least mark them as such? If not, maybe ill just buy a slabbed set and stop guessing :) Edit: After another look at the edge under magnification... Reprocessed. Blah. Ok, so question stands, with TPG slabbed, am I assured untouched cents? Edited by JJHFL 07/05/2013 4:22 pm Report this Post to the Staff
numismo Rest in Peace United States 3039 Posts	Posted 07/05/2013 4:56 pm I wouldn't think TPGs slab reprocessed cents, although they do anything for money. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 07/05/2013 7:14 pm Notice the sheen of the coin. That tells me it is plated/re-processed. Stock ones are dull in finish. https://www.coincommunity.com/forum...llini420.jpg https://www.coincommunity.com/forum..._1943D_4.jpg https://www.coincommunity.com/forum..._1943D_5.jpg https://www.coincommunity.com/forum..._1943D_1.jpg https://www.coincommunity.com/forum...1_1943_1.jpg Re-processing ruin collector value. So I doubt any grading company would slab it. Report this Post to the Staff
