Alex_C New Member United States 9 Posts	Posted 05/03/2023 4:02 pm I have (3) 1943 Steel penny that appear Mint State but under a microscope some of the areas look pitted. Bad steel ? Re-plated ? They don't seem replated but the pitting seems to be under the shinny top layer. Thank you for any thoughts Edited by Alex_C 05/03/2023 4:11 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Dearborn Moderator United States 94765 Posts	Posted 05/03/2023 4:50 pm sure looks re-plated to me as well. Can you post up an image of the edge? Collecting since 1972.
