The few plated pictures I looked at in other post pointed out how in the plated coins the lines in the background don't go in a circular motion and go in one direction. Is this correct?

You wouldn't be able to determine if it's replated by the weight - not enough zinc is added to make it very much overweight. If a steelie has wear but is shiny, it's reprocessed.

People (members) COME ON read more than just the title before stating your opinion Quote:
The edge is Dull and as far as the bluish coloring..... Dykil93 we really need good photos of the edge to give a trusting opinion, if you're saying the rim takes on a different tone/coloring as the obv/reverse then I feel yor cent might be original....and a nice looking one at that. A little back story might help...where/when did you get this coin? |

Sorry, I Didn't realize that there was more responses to this post. I need to see if there's a way to set up notifications. Ahh thank you Hondo Boguss. I was wondering about the weight. Greasy Fingers, thank you for your response and I will get some real close ups when I get home, if I don't have any on my phone now. I will look on my phone for Photos after this message, but in the meantime I will give you the information regarding on where I got the coin. I purchased the coin as well as a ton of other wheat cents from a Estate Sale. The original owner had passed away from old age and had a magnificent collection. He was a wealthy man, or smart at least from what I gather because his collection had a bunch of Gold coins, as well as Roman coins that were way out of my price range. I wish I would been able to buy more, but the stop was spontaneous and only had about 80 dollars on me. That Coin came in a 3 Coin cardboard holder that looked pretty aged haha. I Got a Denver, Philadelphia and San Francisco for in that cardboard set for $1.50 two in a half years ago.cheers

Hey Greasy Fingers I looked at the coin again, I would say after doing more research on it that it is reprocessed if they are able to only do one side. The process I read about was a dipping style and idk if there's other ways but the obverse has areas that look weird but reverse looks totally normal and with no noticeable weird features. When I zoomed in very close on the obverse side I saw rusting which is typical for zinc over time and I saw areas that looked like the die had something going on or potentially the zinc plated reprocessing? Idk I can get a good pic when I am at work with the mega microscope.

Besides re-plating with zinc, steelies were sometimes reprocessed by rubbing mercury on them. A friend's dad demonstrated that to us back in the early '70s.
