Igleos Valued Member United States 123 Posts	Posted 08/29/2012 03:36 am In the local aviation museum on Ford Island in Hawaii (Military Base), they sell a set of steel pennies for 9.99. These pennies appear BU and says it is certified to be genuine. I looked around on ebay and it looked like it would cost a bit more to try to get all three mintages BU on ebay. I am really thinking about getting it. What does everyone else think? Report this Post to the Staff

The are low grade coins that have been re-plated and there for considered damaged and worthless. You can buy nice higher grade coins at a decent price. GO has it right,get one coin at a time in high grade and you will be a lot happier in the long run. Here is an example but I don't recommend ICG, they tend to over grade a bit. http://www.cheapslabs.com/shop/inde...tail&p=51170 John1 Report this Post to the Staff

As you already have seen from other replys, just one of the many gimmicks used to suck people in to this coin collecting craze. They made so many of those and so many were put aside that REAL ones are not that difficult to find. Of course if your in Hawaii, places that sell coins may not be as common as in the rest of the USA. By me we have 4 coin shows a Month and those are almost as common as any Wheat Back Cent.
