coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 03/26/2014 3:38 pm You got me on that one also. The coin seems too shiny to be a MS example? They should be dull in luster. Buy the coin and not the plastic. NGC slab... Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 03/26/2014 3:57 pm They re-process the 1943 cents. But instead of using zinc, they plate them. From the images it might be. It just seem a little too shiny to be a mint state coin. IMOHO Reprocessed: The surfaces are shiny and rough on the reprocessed examples. Here is a MS-67 example: Report this Post to the Staff

jay4202472000 Pillar of the Community United States 853 Posts	Posted 03/26/2014 9:02 pm About the type 2, I have 2 theories. 1) He doesn't call it a steel cent so maybe that's it. That would make a 1944 a resumption of the type 1. I haven't seen any labeled this way. It's just a guess. That would make '59s type 3 & (to add more confusion) '82s either type 3 or 4. LOL! 2) There was a guy on another forum that went on and on, for over a week, about 2 different types of 3 being used in the date. The normal 3 & the notorious "SW pointing 3". As confusing as it would be, I hope it's theory 1. If I have to live through the "SW pointing 3" thing again, I may give up coins. I'm sure someone saw this thread. Report this Post to the Staff
Collector-Corner Pillar of the Community 872 Posts	Posted 03/27/2014 12:12 pm It says Type II Wheat cent so it got me to thinking. Type I Wheat cent is Copper Type II Wheat cent is zinc/steel EDIT: Well, I did locate a rather unofficial source about the LWC / LMC: http://www.thecoinspot.com/1_lincoln_cent.php Yep, looks like its based on the design and coin content, so it makes sense to me.
