I have this 1943 steel penny that is allegedly uncirculated. I don't know much about these pennies but I have heard of people resurfacing them. Are there any dead giveaways that would tell us if this one is or is not resurfaced? I am also wondering where you guys think it would grade if I sent it in.

| I've had some that look like that as well, I usually determine that it is just a reflective optical illusion. I have one where under my USB camera it looks like there are 8 steps and extra lines around the windows but when you shift the angle of the coin you can see them disappear. |

I went on a FS nickel hunt the other day and came up with a few nice ones but this one is definitely the best one. When I compare it to PCGS/NGC for the same coin I honestly feel like this one competes with the MS68. Obviously I have to be aware of my own bias so that's why I am here. What do you guys think this would grade as? I tried to get as clear of pictures as I could, the definition is very clear all around this coin and very minimal small surface blemishes. Have at it!
