Petespockets55 Pillar of the Community United States 5785 Posts	Posted 06/30/2020 9:21 pm Only the original obverse and reverse surfaces had the zinc coating since they were punched out of the sheet after being plated. There should be no zinc on the edge. A circulated example will have been subjected to moisture and the exposed edge will oxidize and form rust, usually in the form of lines perpendicular to either face. There don't appear to be any rusty lines on the edge image of OP's coin that I can see. For that reason, I'm thinking it is replated, but nicely done.

Daves Errors Pillar of the Community United States 1566 Posts	Posted 07/01/2020 12:45 pm I did the Research on this coin about 8 years ago Due to me getting ripped off paying to much for a roll of 1943 S Steel Cent they looked like funny money and Ta Da found out the coins with the grayish look and SHINY are REPROCESSED. MANY where done to be used as a Novelty Coin. SO IF you see Grayish shiny looking STEEL CENT or ZINC COATED coins DONT BUY THEM they have been REPROCESSED Edited by Daves Errors 07/01/2020 6:37 pm Report this Post to the Staff
bobby131313 Forum Dad United States 24171 Posts	Posted 07/01/2020 12:54 pm Here's a bulk lot of steelies I bought to give away to kids at the FUN show many years ago. They are mostly all gray. They are not reprocessed. To say if they are gray they are reprocessed is just wrong. Most circulated ones are gray or rust colored. Shop CCF Members on eBay. Report this Post to the Staff
Petespockets55 Pillar of the Community United States 5785 Posts	Posted 07/01/2020 1:06 pm Dave, how did the edges of the coins you bought look? Was there any rust on the edges? Unfortunately, sometimes the reprocessed ones have some rust poking through as well. Bobby's image look like they are normal unprocessed examples but have the gray color to them.
