coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 08/29/2010 10:00 am The surfaces on a BU 43 should look like this: No shiny and looking like plating over the coin. Reprocessed. Probably the coin reprocessed were rusty and cleaned with a buffing brush before plating. Distorting the natural surfaces that were there and covering it with a false coating. This coating enhances imperfections on the coin and makes it look like something is there, when it wasn't during the striking process. Kind of a PMD of a different type done to ruin the value of these coins. Report this Post to the Staff

Scooby Due Pillar of the Community United States 4000 Posts	Posted 08/31/2010 10:38 am Am I the only one intrigued with the position of the "P"? Have I just not looked at enough steelies to determine that this is normal? Report this Post to the Staff
Indian1 Pillar of the Community United States 3640 Posts	Posted 08/31/2010 10:51 am I am assuming you mean the P in "pluribus" I looked at a bunch of both P and D mint coins and they all look like that. Report this Post to the Staff
