Hello. I wanted to get an opinion on this 1943-D Steel Cent. I know steel cents are not really valuable coins but I wanted to get your thoughts.
The only interesting bit of this is that it may have a re-punched mint mark. Look here: 1943-D RPMs (varietyvista.com)
I kinda thought maybe it was inspector43 but even if it was I guess it’s just junk at this point. I thought his cheek looked kinda strange, Mac McDonald. I got this one and a similar looking 1943 in the same roll.
It is junk if what you were looking for was a coin that you could profit from or post as rare or scarce. If you were looking for a piece of numismatic history, a piece that you could add to a collection of US coins, a piece that truly represents a period of US coinage then you found it. I think it is a great piece and have several similar.

Many were replated with zinc to give a shiny " New" appearance to the coin. You can tell by looking at the edge. If the edge is shiny or new looking, it is reprocessed and is just a cent. If the edge has a gray dull finish it may be the 1943 condition and have a value above a cent. Jim
A definite keeper but that about all. Looks replated and polished. Nice find for a roll hunt. Welcome to CT.
