Wrenes Valued Member United States 204 Posts	Posted 10/24/2019 07:07 am My first steel penny. Can't seem to grade it with Photograde. Pictures with digital camera make the fields real dark... almost proof-like? Coin in person has higher luster. Last two pic were with cell phone which shows more natural luster.

Wrenes Valued Member United States 204 Posts	Posted 10/25/2019 12:05 am I'm sorry.... should have said the last two pics taken while in a Mylar flip. The fingerprint was on flip... (still a novice). Could a cleaned zinc-coated penny still have extremely shiny surfaces? Again I'm sorry and will closely preview posts before I send them. : ( Report this Post to the Staff
John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 10/25/2019 05:35 am Can you post good pics of the edge? If the edge is shiny like the rest of the coin it is most likely replatted. John1 Report this Post to the Staff

ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19146 Posts	Posted 10/25/2019 08:49 am To me it has a plated appearance. I have several having the same look. When compared to a legit MS++ grade steel cent, the difference is considerable. Report this Post to the Staff
