cipster Pillar of the Community United States 2362 Posts	Posted 05/13/2017 8:32 pm OK, I'll be the fool who will ask. Is it my eyes, my monitor, or the photography - this looks like a copper cent.

I believe the toning or lighting is causing that brownish look. Edited by Justinokay 05/13/2017 8:52 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Crazyb0 Rest in Peace 10197 Posts	Posted 05/13/2017 9:32 pm Because of the mushiness around the letters and wheat stalks (reverse) I wonder if this is not a replated set of 43's. If they are quite shiny and reflective, they are and are worth little in collector value, are considered damaged, not original. If you got this in a 3-hole snap case, they probably are replated. Your pics are blurry and can't really tell. Report this Post to the Staff
kanga Pillar of the Community United States 5825 Posts	Posted 05/13/2017 9:33 pm What bothers me is that the cent looks rather shiny. Reprocessed? Original surfaces tend to be dull (matte). Report this Post to the Staff
