 to the CCF and  Plating destroys any numismatic value. Now just a cull Wheat cent.

Well thanks for the input and I'll attach a response from a local authorized coin dealer of a certain coin grading service/company, not showing his name or company but his response to those pictures was, he'd clean and grade it if it was his coin but not worth his time or money as it's mine. For a long time coin dealer, he didn't care to point out what most have in this thread or he didn't notice.  That's cropped to just the response. |

Reprocessed Cent, I give them to kids.

whomever that service was that said you did fine if you paid $35 for this coin does not know coins. how can he say that? run dont walk from this person and never deal with them. if they dont know this coin was plated you cant trust their competence on anything

All you have to do is look at the edge to see where the plating is peeling off.
The edge should be a steel core sandwiched between layers of zinc.

MintOrSpent, if a "coin dealer" suggested cleaning this coin, and did not recognize this as a worthless plated coin, don't go back to him. 35 cents would be about right for a coin in this condition, but as I stated above, plating destroys any numismatic value.

The best part about this thread is it has nice, clear pictures of a plated 1943. I think about 90% of the 43's posted on CCF have been plated.
I'll add this for the millionth time: 1943'S ARE NOT VALUABLE COINS
Even if you're so lucky as to find a high-grade, MS-67 coin, it's worth less than $200 in a PCGS slab.

I appreciate the responses, I guess that person I talked to didn't know as much as he said he did. I'm not one to sling mud, especially in this area of expertise but it was quite odd that he didn't catch what many here have. Thanks again.

Not slinging mud if it's true.

this one is pretty easy to pick out and anyone in numismatics for a short period of time should have been able to know that

Not $35, 35 cents. It weighed 2.9 grams so I've already set it aside. Probably the older gentleman who sold it to me at the time had no idea either, with the note "Light Double 4". Oh well, one to hold onto.
