dd27 Pillar of the Community United States 666 Posts	Posted 10/17/2016 01:07 am Thanks again for all of your feedback and suggestions. IMHO the article is much better because of your input. :O) I finished revising the article, but please do tell me if you spot any typos, grammatical errors, or anything else I could improve. Finally, if you would be so kind, if you would click the "Like" link at the top of the page, I would greatly appreciate it. Here is a direct link to the article: http://www.ebay.com/gds/Reprocessed...72332/g.html Sure, my ego likes the acknowledgment, but my primary reason for requesting the support (i.e., 'Liking' the article), is that more ebay buyers will see it if it receives sufficient 'Likes'. And that's the whole point of these ebay Guides, i.e., to educate buyers so that they have a positive experience and do not fall prey to the predators. Much obliged, Mark Edited by dd27 10/17/2016 01:15 am Report this Post to the Staff

Quote: But before I edit the article, I want to make sure I understand a term you used--"rims were upset"--what does that mean? Blanks are punched from the sheets. The blanks are then run though a machine (upsetting mill) to raise the rim, after which the blank is now called a planchet. Previously posted video...

I very much appreciate your willingness to share your knowledge and sage advice. Good golly Miss Molly, I marvel at how much I learn here. --- I wrote a somewhat expanded version of the Reprocessed 1943 Steel Lincoln Cents article as a Word document because ebay's text editor is somewhat limited and I wanted all the formatting options that Word provides. I posted it online at: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B_...?usp=sharing And a PDF version: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B_...?usp=sharing All the best, Mark Edited by dd27 10/18/2016 07:47 am Report this Post to the Staff

just carl Bedrock of the Community United States 20753 Posts	Posted 10/18/2016 8:43 pm Sort of a decent article however, it started out with a sort of error. Most, not all, reprocessed ones were and are not Chrome plated. They are re Zinc plated. Yes there are numerous ones that are Chromed but most are just re plated in Zinc. There are also many that are Tinned or Copper plated. I have well over 4,000 1943 Lincoln Cents. I am trying to put together an entire roll of the Chromed ones but those are just not that common. They appear to be almost like a Proof where as the Zinc or Tinned ones are new looking but do not have that auto bumper appearance. Usually a great seller at flea markets and coin stores. The prices listed in the article are fairly accurate. However, I've found at flea markets one person sells them for .25 each regardless of condition or reprocessed. At coin shows I've seen them selling for all the way up to several dollars each for just normal looking ones. I have 3 of the Copper plated ones and still looking for more of those. As a novelty they usually sell for $1 to $5. Edited by just carl 10/18/2016 8:51 pm Report this Post to the Staff
perfessor Pillar of the Community United States 927 Posts	Posted 10/19/2016 10:10 pm Very interesting read. I knew about the reprocessed 1943 cents but I didn't know the history behind them. Thanks. Report this Post to the Staff
