Double J Valued Member Canada 409 Posts	Posted 03/08/2024 3:39 pm Not sure about this one. Usually for me when Struck Through Grease it has more of a crater look. Any help would be appreciated. It's sealed in a plastic case so tried to take best photos I could. Is it worth opening the case up? It's on the reverse wheat. Report this Post to the Staff

nfine Pillar of the Community United States 3467 Posts	Posted 03/08/2024 4:06 pm Looks like a poor replating job. Report this Post to the Staff
Double J Valued Member Canada 409 Posts	Posted 03/08/2024 4:11 pm Didn't even realize that was a thing...especially for a semi common 1 cent. But it does make sense on how it looks now that you mention it. If I want to sell it do I just highlight the fact it has been replated? Report this Post to the Staff

Double J Valued Member Canada 409 Posts	Posted 03/08/2024 4:58 pm No, I'd sell the set it's sealed in. Report this Post to the Staff
Dearborn Moderator United States 94613 Posts	Posted 03/08/2024 5:15 pm That looks like an after market case. Not from the mint. Especially since that cent had to be put out the case to get replaced. All the coins have different dates on them - or plated before being placed in it.. 1922 Peace dollar 1943 Lincoln Wheat cent 1944 Jefferson nickel 1925 Mercury dime 1960 Washington quarter 1963 Franklin half dollar Kind-a mish-mash of well circulated coins. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember.

Double J Valued Member Canada 409 Posts	Posted 03/08/2024 5:32 pm Nah, I typically get more than melt on American coins...though probably not much on this set given the randomness of the set and the damaged penny. Maybe I'll break it open. Anyway doesn't matter at this point. Got my answer. Thank you all for your help. Report this Post to the Staff
