Just soak a few common dates in distilled water... see if that works. It definitely won't hurt them or their value. And if you bought a bag of...
Probably in the G-6 range, at least according to this: http://coinauctionshelp.com/How_To_Grade_Walking_Liberty_Halves.html
Well, they cost about seven cents each in quantity, and that's retail. Doesn't seem like you'll be breakin' the bank unless you're really "penny...
If you look at enough old Merc's, you'll find wear patterns like this all the time.

Well, it's a '43 steel cent, so there wouldn't be any underlying copper, and the plating process covers the entire coin, edge included. Many, many...

There's a ton of new Sacs at my local bank, along with plenty of Presidential and SBA's (and a few scattered Ikes). I buy $20 to $30 worth a week...
Wow... $49.50 for a "reprocessed" (as they call it) set. I bought the exact same set from my local dealer for eight dollars and sold it (with just...
There's some nice uplated examples of the '43 in this thread: http://www.cointalk.com/t199703/
It doesn't seem to for some reason. I've bought a few of these "sets" with the '43's plated, and they look exactly like the OP's. Unfornately, I...
