mikeyboi83 New Member United States 31 Posts	Posted 08/27/2020 6:27 pm I found a 1943 steel penny in a roll and it looks like the 4 is almost non existent but the rest of the coin does not show ware, is this a possible light strike?

merclover Bedrock of the Community United States 10635 Posts	Posted 08/27/2020 6:48 pm with Sam. It's a bit too shiny, so it appears to be plated. I unplated steel cent should be a dull silver, not the highly reflective silver your cent shows. Plating considerately lowers value. Still, a nice conversation piece to keep!

spru Bedrock of the Community United States 12477 Posts	Posted 08/28/2020 02:23 am Interesting. I thought it looked replated at first, too. It's still hard to tell.
