1943 Steel Cent is it worth cleaning or just toss in melting pot.

Woah...dude, was just at my coin dealer's and he had a killer I bought. Will take picture and post as soon as I can.

Looked on fee-bay and got a laugh at the RD designation for this one.

 

MS67RD?! Bwahahahahah!
Must be from an eBay slabber. It's not from one of the top 3.

 

Did you guys know the edges don't have zinc on them? They plated the strip before punching out the blanks. Not much can be done to fix the rust but fun to play with.

 

You can't even throw this one in the melting pot, if other normal cents are included.
Iron and copper will not alloy together.

 

I really tried to capture the toning on this, but I am severely handicapped in photo taking. Beautiful toning.

 

Best one I have. Still corroding a tad. But definitely unique to see in a sea of red cents
