jiffy420 Valued Member United States 68 Posts	Posted 05/19/2015 7:12 pm If it was reprocessed would that change the weight? Report this Post to the Staff
ChildOfTheWheat Pillar of the Community United States 5828 Posts	Posted 05/19/2015 7:28 pm The change would be very subtle. Report this Post to the Staff

T-BOP Rest in Peace United States 18456 Posts	Posted 05/19/2015 8:26 pm I'm leaning towards reprocessed. watch out for those staples. Report this Post to the Staff
CoinCollector2012 Pillar of the Community United States 8137 Posts	Posted 05/19/2015 8:38 pm The whole coin kind of looks pitted from the first set of pics. Maybe it was a ground find that someone tried to clean up. Report this Post to the Staff
jiffy420 Valued Member United States 68 Posts	Posted 05/19/2015 9:30 pm I have 2 more almost the same. S mint and d mint. Report this Post to the Staff
ChildOfTheWheat Pillar of the Community United States 5828 Posts	Posted 05/19/2015 9:37 pm By the way, they really are made of steel so you don't have to put air quotes. Report this Post to the Staff
gymcoachdon Pillar of the Community United States 717 Posts	Posted 05/19/2015 10:10 pm Look reprocessed to me, especially the second pictures. Do they have any bluish tint or coloring to them? I had a bunch that had been replated, and some had a bluish tint. Mine were worn coins with a perfect shiny finish, so it was obvious something was wrong. "By the way, they really are made of steel so you don't have to put air quotes." Those are real quotation marks...not "air quotes" Report this Post to the Staff
jiffy420 Valued Member United States 68 Posts	Posted 05/19/2015 10:19 pm No they are just shiny silver color. No tint at all. Report this Post to the Staff
jdiablo30 Pillar of the Community United States 946 Posts	Posted 05/20/2015 08:17 am They look like they're reprocessed.They look like older steelies that were cleaned up and replated. Due to all the pitting I see from your pictures, but the fact that they look brand new finish wise. Report this Post to the Staff
BadThad Bedrock of the Community United States 19974 Posts	Posted 05/20/2015 10:36 am Sorry, definitely replated coins. Lincoln Cent Lover! VERDI-CARE™ INVENTOR https://verdi.care/ Report this Post to the Staff
edweather Pillar of the Community United States 7375 Posts	Posted 05/20/2015 2:33 pm Nice, learned something new about reprocessing/plating 1943s. Thanks all. Report this Post to the Staff
brenpickle Pillar of the Community United States 836 Posts	Posted 05/20/2015 3:54 pm How can you tell if the coin has no pitting, and why is seeing the edge important? Edited by brenpickle 05/20/2015 3:54 pm Report this Post to the Staff
