1943 Penny- AU, or replated?

  1. I don't have much experience in steel pennies. I bought a few rolls from my local coin shop, you know, just to supplement my collection. I found this little fellow mixed in with them. I'm not sure if it's AU, or replated. Thanks for any help! Sorry for the poor pictures, my camera battery died and I misplaced the charger =[

    The 1943 steel cents were coated with zinc. The coin is too shiny to be a BU example. They should look like this:

    Replating is VERY common on these.
