Need Help Determining Value

Hi All!

I need help determining the value of the attached 1943 US Steel Cent Collection from the Philadelphia, Denver and San Francisco Mints in a Clear Plastic Case.

Thanks,

Hello Todd! I think that we would need better Pics to determine value and if they're plated or not? Thanks!

 

Usually, the coins in those "collectible" cases are polished or plated and have no numismatic value.

 

They look reprocessed to me.

 

I've seen those sets being sold at flea markets for like $3.00 - $5.00 or best offer

 

And I saw them in a dealer's $1 junk box at the TNA show on Friday.

 

Maybe 10 bucks

 

Reprocessed and sold in a set as an example, IMHO

Fun to keep, but you aren't going to get coffee at StarBucks with it.

 

Great Birthday gifts for kids . . .

From an advertisement in a 1960's coin magazine. No legal warning or suggestion of implying of faked coins since the customer had to provide the coins to be processed. Most of the fake copper 43s came from several USA companies.
But they are easy to tell. The steel cents were punched out of zinc covered grey steel sheets. So if yours have a dull gray edge it is possible original, if the edge is shiny, its replated ( details for sure). Jim

 

Well guys, it appears that my 1943 coin set in a plastic case are all plated, because the edges are definitely smooth and shiny, so of course not of much value.

Thanks to one and all for your help!
