Never heard of them, but anyway they didn't even give this coin a grade at all. But then a re-plated coin would just get a 'details marker on it if done by any of the 'repudiable' TPG's. At the end of the day This particular coin holds no real value, especially since it has been reprocessed. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember.

coin rejector Pillar of the Community United States 2873 Posts	Posted 04/13/2024 3:50 pm @lenny..... This is from wikipedia page regarding reprocessed coins,.... "Novelty Coins" Since many steel cents corroded and became dull soon after entering circulation, some dealers who sold the coins as novelties improved their appearance by "reprocessing" - stripping off the old zinc coating and then replating them with zinc or chrome. These reprocessed coins are sometimes erroneously described as brilliant uncirculated, or similar terms, by ignorant or unscrupulous online sellers".... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1943_steel_cent Report this Post to the Staff
lcutler Pillar of the Community United States 1659 Posts	Posted 04/13/2024 4:30 pm I can understand the confusion, I don't know why PCGS listed it like that. While the $218,000 is listed under the steel cent, if you click the link it takes you to the sale which was actually for a 1943 bronze. Report this Post to the Staff
