View attachment 902562 I have a 1943 Steel penny that has the error of part of the date missing and I was trying to see how valuable it was. Thank you
Grease filled die issue caused the 4 not to form properly.. And your Steel Cent has been re-plated or re-processed. It's not valuable at all.
They give certificates of authenticity for Re-processed steel Cents. That means absolutely nothing. I have been collecting coins for 34 years, I have seen dozens like yours. It is just a novelty item Cent.
Tony, if the edge is shiny like the top or bottom , it was re-plated. If it is rusty or dull flat grey in the middle, it is the normal steel center and not reprocessed. Jim
