ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19194 Posts	Posted 10/29/2024 2:09 pm Yes, the photos seem to hint at replating. Please post full large and sharp pics of just the coin. Include and end-on close-in pic of the rim. Thanks. Report this Post to the Staff
jbuck Moderator United States 189199 Posts	Posted 10/29/2024 2:11 pm 2.7 grams is normal. Plating made have added to it. 2.95 grams is closer to 2.7 grams of steel than it is to 3.11 grams of copper.

Tacc Pillar of the Community United States 3535 Posts	Posted 10/29/2024 2:47 pm Pictures are too small. Focus on the coin itself for your photos, not the surrounding areas. Report this Post to the Staff
Dough101 Valued Member United States 399 Posts	Posted 10/29/2024 3:29 pm It looks like it also has a double D mint mark. It's a nice coin; this could easily pass MS64-5. I have had this coin for years. Report this Post to the Staff
nfine Pillar of the Community United States 3473 Posts	Posted 10/29/2024 3:36 pm The shiny edge is proof that you have a plated, or reprocessed, steel cent. Report this Post to the Staff
ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19194 Posts	Posted 10/29/2024 3:39 pm Unfortunately, the new photos indicate a replated cent. In my many, many years of plowing through wheat cents, I've come across a good number of replated examples. Report this Post to the Staff
Tacc Pillar of the Community United States 3535 Posts	Posted 10/29/2024 3:50 pm Better enlarged photos, thanks! I agree your coin has been replated somewhere down the line. Report this Post to the Staff
Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 10/29/2024 4:03 pm Definitely a repeated coin. Report this Post to the Staff
