tropicalbats Pillar of the Community United States 6116 Posts	Posted 11/22/2016 4:54 pm I took a close up of the 43 but it didn't come out so well so didn't post it originally. And I was kinda assuming that as sharp as the details are that it wasn't a worn die. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 11/22/2016 7:05 pm The reverse doesn't show the same affect. I would think that Heat on the Steel cent would have changed the color a bit. Possible older sanding on the obverse on the 1943? That would leave marks the same on the tops of the devices and on the fields. The 1943 cents had a coating of zinc on them, so if they were careful, it might affect just the coating on the cent. Reverse not altered. 1947-S looks like it was heated with a torch. Edited by coop 11/22/2016 7:07 pm Report this Post to the Staff
