JimmyD Bedrock of the Community Canada 21635 Posts	Posted 07/20/2022 7:18 pm Just a poor gold replating job. No value, considered PMD. Report this Post to the Staff

Muncie Valued Member United States 76 Posts	Posted 07/20/2022 7:48 pm It's zinc in color and it's a 1943 that's almost uncirculated shiny Report this Post to the Staff
silviosi Pillar of the Community Canada 6244 Posts	Posted 07/20/2022 8:00 pm Try magnet test. I see some traces of plating. In fact I see some blisters of plating. I could be wrong, I do not have the coin in my hand. Edited by silviosi 07/20/2022 8:05 pm Report this Post to the Staff

silviosi Pillar of the Community Canada 6244 Posts	Posted 07/20/2022 8:25 pm The answer is o the magnet test. Be aware are many coins like this around. Report this Post to the Staff
Petespockets55 Pillar of the Community United States 5786 Posts	Posted 07/20/2022 10:35 pm What you are seeing as "special" on the reverse is just the effects of a poorly done re-plating job. Old, uneven surfaces were left in place and not removed before it was replated. It looks super shiny, which is a hallmark of a replated steel cent. Being super shiny on the third side (the edge) is another give-away to this one being replated and considered doctored. Words of encouragement are one of the major food groups. We need to consume them regularly to thrive and grow. Report this Post to the Staff

Muncie Valued Member United States 76 Posts	Posted 07/21/2022 09:11 am I got this coin from a coin dealer and yesterday was the first time that I took it out of the paper protector that it came in. I'm uploading a picture of how I purchased the coin.I truly hope that the coin dealer didn't repaint this coin and sell it to me. Report this Post to the Staff
