Bmoney New Member United States 4 Posts	Posted 01/20/2012 03:11 am I found a beautiful 1943-S searching through rolls one day and I'm wondering what you might think the grade is? It is almost perfect condition and I have seen way worse looking pennies with MS 67 as their grade. Here are the pics (however I took them with my iPhone. I can scan a pic if needed. To be honest it looks much much better in person. The pics do not do it justice. Here are the first 2 And here is it in a plastic cover: Report this Post to the Staff

BadThad Bedrock of the Community United States 19966 Posts	Posted 01/20/2012 07:46 am Nice roll find if it's not replated, it's hard to tell though. The pics are grainy and orientated wrong, please flip them before posting. It's definately no 67, if anything, MS-63 or so at best. Lincoln Cent Lover!

SHAFTA9a Bedrock of the Community Canada 10743 Posts	Posted 01/20/2012 09:37 am Yeah, always hard to tell for some reason when, the pics are sideways. The coin looks better in the plastic cover maybe with better pics and taken out of the plastic, it may go MS64 Report this Post to the Staff

Bmoney New Member United States 4 Posts	Posted 01/20/2012 5:49 pm I didn't even notice the pics were oriented to the side... sorry about that. They are terrible pics, they look good on my iphone at 1.4 mb but when I get them to 100 kb they get real grainy. I'm going to try to scan it to see if that works. I don't see any signs of replating on it or anything like that, but I'm biased and don't know much about reprocessed coins. I guess I don't understand why someone would replate or reprocess a coin and then put it back into the world. Report this Post to the Staff
acloco Pillar of the Community United States 3540 Posts	Posted 01/21/2012 12:37 am With a laptop, not so bad to help out the orientation of the picture. A 20" monitor might be a problem though. :) I am going to say replated - cheekbone is flattened slightly. Report this Post to the Staff
