I think I might just send the 1st one in for grading with my membership. I know it's expensive, but with all the info you guys have given me, I'm just really curious now. I don't think I was scammed, but it wouldn't be the first time. Hah! Thanks, all! I'll post the results from PCGS when I get them.

I can understand your curiosity. I think all of us here would like some sort of confirmation.

That's interesting. I don't really collect cents, so I had no idea that the '43 cent edges are just raw steel. I had assumed the zinc plating was like modern copper plated cents, applied after the blanks were punched and upset.
