Reprocessed cents look "liquidy," these do not.  |

Not all reprocessed cents are so sloppily done. Here is the writeup and photo from someone who is still reprocessing and selling 43 cents. The finished result looks pretty good. This 1943 Steel Penny has been reprocessed. Reprocessing involves stripping off the old zinc, removing any rust from the surface of the coins, and re-coating them in zinc, giving them a shiny finish. |

They appear to be reprocessed in my opinion.

I'm leaning toward reprocessed. That does not look like natural luster. Quote:
If the edges are shiny like the rest of the coin, then it ha been reprocessed.  |

I purchased 2 sets of 1943 reprocessed for my kids that look very close to those. I have a NGC certified MS 67 1942-P and it is not as clean as the reprocessed.

Replated steel Cents would not show any sign of radial mint luster anywhere on the coin..

Just the opposite. If the edges are shiny like the rest of the coin, then it ha been reprocessed. I'm sorry, I said it wrong. I meant to say the rims ARE usually reprocessed (if the rest of the coin is shiny, like the OP's are as shown). It was very late, I just misstated what I meant to say, I'm sorry for the confusion.  |

Merclover, everybody knows you know your stuff. We all make typos.
This is a great thread. Never thought much about the rims when considering if it's reprocessed.

I'm all in with Jimmy D and others about these being reprocessed.
The edges don't look like they should. No indication of linear striations on the edges from being punched out.
Words of encouragement are one of the major food groups.
We need to consume them regularly to thrive and grow.

the edge says it's reprocessed. the coining strip was galvanized and then blanks were punched out of it and struck in 1943.
therefore the edge should NOT have a zinc coating and should be bare steel if it's original.
reprocessed cents are re-plated, there's no way to really avoid plating over the edge since the coins have already been punched out.
my opinion, from the edge picture and nothing else, 100% reprocessed. even the nicely done reprocessed cents will not have a bare steel edge like they originally did.
A lot of the appearance has more to do with whether they were reprocessed with Zinc, Chromium, or Nickel for the recoating. the really "liquidy" looking ones are chromed.

Often I would misspell a word on the descriptions on the images. So I learned a new trick. I write the subject on note book and then check it with word. That will also correct a word you don't know how spell. You give it your best shot and then the word program will find the correct spelling for you. Also on the Phone, you can use the microphone feature on Goodgle, say the word, and it will spell it for you, and give the definition of the word. Just a some tricks I figured out.
