ChildOfTheWheat Pillar of the Community United States 5828 Posts	Posted 12/25/2014 11:34 am Hello! Today I recived a 3 lbs bag of LWC, and I got 2 1943 D steel cents. They looked BU, but I think that they could be re processed. If you could tell me what it is, it would be awesome! Merry Christmas! Report this Post to the Staff

Check the edge, if you can see the steel and zinc layers it isn't reprocessed.(The zinc plating tends to be visible as a different color along one edge from the zinc plating being drug down onto the edge from the planchets being punched from the strip.)

westernsky Pillar of the Community United States 7615 Posts	Posted 12/25/2014 11:10 pm Most of the reprocessed ones I've seen over the years have almost a bluish tint with a near mirror-like appearance. Most of the natural uncs will have a silver gray matte finish. Yours appears to be the unc finish but has some rust and or corrosion. Report this Post to the Staff
