I recently got a 1943 d steel penny from my flea market. I looked closely at it and I saw that there is some doubling on the d. Is this a 1943 d/d penny? My lamp changed the colour of the coin when I took the picture. Sorry for all the reposts I uploaded Thanks to everyone in advance.  Edited by Bose357

Pictures are too small. And sorry to say, the coin has been re plated.

Just hit reply to topic on this thread and you can post new pictures. But that coin does look replated Which is probably what caused the doubling .

Ok. How much is this coin worth? Here is a photo of both sides of the penny. The pictures are blurry.   Edited by Bose357

There appears to be some die wear present (steel dies and steel planchets make the dies wear faster) and evidence of reprocessing done on your coin. When the cent are reprocessed, they may not prepare them correctly. Any residue will show up as something on your coin as something when it is under the plating. Plating these cents ruins collectable value. The surfaces should be dull in color and not shiny. Not a RPM as the 4 in the date and the mint mark are affected. The die movement during the strike altered these devices, not on the die. (but still is a steel Wheat cent) |
