vanyelmoon New Member United States 14 Posts	Posted 02/12/2012 07:58 am Hi, I have this Steel penny in my collection and I have seen on the forum that they can be re-coated. I have had the coin for several years and was wondering if anyone can tell me if this is original and what grade it is. Is there a way I can tell if it was re-coated? Thanks in advance for any help provided. Report this Post to the Staff

If the rims look different, it's prolly original, since they weren't plated before the blanks were punched. A replate has similar color on both sides and edge. Report this Post to the Staff
