Also be aware of "reprocessed" 1943 steel cents. They are not necessarily 'bad', but they should not be misrepresented as "uncirculated" or the like. See:
I have about 100 steel pennies ranging from Ugh to hmmm to NICE! LOL! and the first time I saw the reprocessed one, I thought it was a proof. But no proofs were made, so yeah, felt a bit stupid but we all learn as we go.
I also have a reprocessed steely. My wife got it for me years ago and it's just been sitting in my "waiting to be put in a binder" box. I didn't know until this thread that it wasn't original. Thanks dd27!
