While I didn't capture it in the pictures, these coins have a great luster. I got them on ebay a couple years back but have always had my doubts about them.

I suck at macros. Hopefully it's close enough to clearly show the surface of the coins. When looking at them through a loupe I can't find and abrasions or marks from cleaning. Figured I'd finally get around to asking others for their opinion.

Oh and as for the steel cents, forgot to ask if they look plated.

is that a fingerprint under liberty on the 1945 p? the coppers look good to me but I'm no pro. the steel cents are something I'm not comfortable commenting on but I will say they don't have the same look as other for sure plated coins I've come across.

Thanks for the responses guys. Yes, I also wonder about the steelies. Here are some more pics, but from farther away. Then some other ones from the same purchase which I was still wondering about.

Some of the same in the OP plus some other ones...

Not really in focus, but some 1950's copper.

The Steelies are on decent shape. I have seen and owned worse. It does look like the zinc coating is wearing off a little bit, but that is very common.
