Dough101 Valued Member United States 399 Posts	Posted 10/03/2024 11:29 am I thought I saw a brownish/yellowish color in the broken metal area. The weight might be the issue? Metal composition? It is magnetic. Report this Post to the Staff

igwt79 Pillar of the Community United States 1465 Posts	Posted 10/03/2024 11:36 am Probably replated and the plating has chipped or worn off on that spot. Report this Post to the Staff

Tacc Pillar of the Community United States 3535 Posts	Posted 10/03/2024 12:07 pm Agreed. Almost certainly coin has been re-plated. Very common with the '43 One Cent. Report this Post to the Staff

Maine Member Valued Member United States 450 Posts	Posted 10/03/2024 12:42 pm Agree with comments above. Reprocessed Steelie. I hate when people mess with coins. The replating has chipped away in the questioned area. Rust results. Report this Post to the Staff
coin rejector Pillar of the Community United States 2854 Posts	Posted 10/03/2024 1:02 pm Even though it's reprocessed, if I were you, I'd keep it. '43 was the only year a steel cent was produced & there is a slight possibility your coin could be a DDO or have an RPM. At the very least, keep it as a novelty or use it as an educational piece when comparing to other '43 Lincoln cents you may come into in the future.

ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19175 Posts	Posted 10/03/2024 1:21 pm Agree, plated. Perhaps on 'older' plating with some exfoliation. Report this Post to the Staff
