The good news is there are plenty steel cent out there. look for one with a matte shine which should be a non-replatted one. Many, many of these have been replatted which destroys there value. Good luck! Report this Post to the Staff
Dearborn Moderator United States 97433 Posts	Posted 01/16/2023 3:18 pm Well it looks like a very rotten clipped Wheat cent. You are right, that date is unreadable in the images you provided. Now just a Cull coin. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember.
