sorry about the bad pictures do i need to retake them

 

It looks that way from the pictures. There are a number of different ways these are replated, not just one way, and you really have to see them to know. They don't all look the same.

 

i got some better pics

 

Yup, looks reprocessed. Usually the "shine" gives it away. They probably used Royal Jelly at one point.

 

Some good info with pictures
cointalk How to tell zinc plated steel cents

 

If the edges are zinc-plated they have been replated.

 

Try cropping the pictures down to just the coin. Also, take pictures OUT of the 2x2.

One of the shots shows mirrored fields so I'm leaning toward reprocessed.
