Cookie0220 New Member United States 29 Posts	Posted 06/15/2020 1:01 pm I found a really good deal on an Off Centered coin and when I received the package today there was an extra one with it. Beautiful 1943 steel cent so I decided to check it out and well its curved. I'm getting familiar with all the errors but this one has me stumped any thoughts would help please. NOT, saying this is an error. Just wanted to make that clear. Edited by Cookie0220 06/15/2020 1:03 pm Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 06/15/2020 2:26 pm Correct. It is re-processed by plating over the original surface. The finish should be dull, not shiny: Also the coin is bent which reduces all value. Just a Wheat cent now. Edited by coop 06/15/2020 4:33 pm Report this Post to the Staff

John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 06/15/2020 6:55 pm Normal is 2.7 grams and it should be magnetic. John1 Report this Post to the Staff
merclover Bedrock of the Community United States 10635 Posts	Posted 06/15/2020 7:05 pm Agreed, plated. Wheat cents are generally worth 3 cents just because they are whaeties, so if you have two of them you have 6 cents! Please crop your photos so only the coin fills the screen. Thanks.
