Put a magnet to them and let us know what happens.

Weights on these two are 2.61g and 2.81g.magnet picked both up. But when placed next to normal steel 1943's they had a little less magnetic pull than the standard 1943. The regular 1943 I used as a control got picked up before the other two.

I think you are right about the shiny one being plated, because there were numerous other plated items in the batch. The other one is the one I'm really curious about.

I'm pretty sure you are looking at rust ,not copper spots. as for the shiny ones , looks like they are reprocessed .
Can you post pic both sides of the 22 no D Lincoln ?

ot sure if it is rust or surface contamination. Either way they are nothing special or overly desirable. And the "shiny" one is definitely plated, and not a good job of it either.

I agree. Rough finish, no cartwheels.  |

Of course I don't want to jump the gun, but is it possible that whoever assembled the set worked at the mint and saved the transition cents? I am curious about this statement. What kind of transition are you talking about? They are either steel or bronze (never any kind of mixture).

They are nothing like the transition patterns that were made in 1941/42/43.

There were a couple experimental pieces in 1942 for the new planchets for 1943:   But the change over was instant. Copper to Steel and Steel back to copper in 1944.  A few cross over pieces for each year. But no mixture of working stock metals. |
