  Of course it were safely kept for a long time.. Anyone got ideas on its worth? I hear the Steel S 1943s can go for a lot.

Is it actually that gold looking color or silver? Have you checked MM for RPM? (S looks interesting)..Nice looking cent and good photos.

It is a nice cent and I could be wrong but from the given photos it appears as though it doesn't have any luster?

It's silver looking Steel. The light had some warmth to it.
Any idea what it's worth? Again. great condition.
I would say it has a luster to it.

Please post an end-on, close-in photo of the rim. The posted pics above are soft, which lead one to suspect the coin may (may...) have been replated. Photo taken under natural lighting would be beneficial. Thanks..

to the CCF What does the edge look like? If this coin has been replated it would have the same silver color. If original it will be steel. |

It does appear to look re-plated to me.

to the CCF Can't tell with these pictures if it's reprocessed. Almost looks natural. Is it a mirror finish or more of a satin finish? |

If the coin is not graded, and has an extremely brilliant spot free appearance then it is most likely reprocessed. These coins did not stay shiny, they tended to dull and the zinc layer exposed would darken. Make special note of the fine die-flow lines radiating outwards on both the obverse and reverse. These lines are evidence of an original, unaltered surface. https://www.ngccoin.com/news/articl...tember-2018/ Original uncirculated 1943 steel cents are really quite easy to differentiate from reprocessed. Since the reprocessing doesn't require the high pressure that a die does,there are no flow lines which cause the characteristic "butterfly" or cartwheeling effect that is seen on all early cents. Just move the coin a bit side to side under good lighting and you'll see what I mean. |

Have to go with the given pictures, appears to be re-plated to me. You can buy mint state steel cents for just a few dollars. Contrary to popular believe, they are one of the LEAST valuable years of the series because they were widely hoarded. Welcome to CC! Let your education begin!
