I had no idea that they have been replating 1943 cents to make them appear mint state. I guess people will do just about anything for a buck!
What I've always found really stupid about this replating or reprocessing is the value. I never tried to do this but I would assume the plating material ad set up, time, searching for the original coins, etc. would take a decent amount of money. Then taking somewhere to attempt to sell for a profit. At flea markets they sell for from $0.10 to $0.25. Even my favorites, the Copper plated ones, sell for about $1 each. My way of thinking is this entire situation is a real loss to someone, somewhere.
