Picked this up today as it had a nice bluish toning that caught my eye. Unfortunately the camera doesn't do the color justice. There is some doubling on the mint mark. In your opinions, am I looking at a repunched MM, Die Deterioration, or what is going on here? Thanks as always for the help!

Looks like you have a re-processed coin with Die Deterioration. The two things you envision as a plus are a negative. Sorry

I didn't think I had something special, so no hurt feelings. Just wanted a second set of eyes. Although what indicates reprocessed to you? Is it the bluish tone I mentioned/that you see? I have a few sets of reprocessed steels, and I was leaning towards original by comparison with this one. Edge is dull compared to my reprocessed ones that seem uniform front to back and edge.

On a side note, do TPGs slab reprocessed cents, or at least mark them as such? If not, maybe ill just buy a slabbed set and stop guessing :)

Edit: After another look at the edge under magnification... Reprocessed. Blah. Ok, so question stands, with TPG slabbed, am I assured untouched cents?

I wouldn't think TPGs slab reprocessed cents, although they do anything for money.

Notice the sheen of the coin. That tells me it is plated/re-processed. Stock ones are dull in finish.

Re-processing ruin collector value. So I doubt any grading company would slab it.
