MikeThePenny Valued Member United States 321 Posts	Posted 08/26/2009 5:16 pm I got an upgrade for my 1943-D penny but I am not sure if mine was real or a rezinc. It's not blue but a very nice shine to it not dull. Report this Post to the Staff

jbuck Moderator United States 188213 Posts	Posted 08/26/2009 5:34 pm Can you see the steel band on the edge? The 1943 cent blanks were punched from zinc plated stock, not plated after the punching like the current copper coated zinc cents are. If you cannot see the steel band (almost like clad) then you have a reprocessed version.

You should see no plating on the edge because the sheets were plated before the planchets were punched out so the edge has no plating at all on them Report this Post to the Staff
