<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Kentucky, post: 3219676, member: 33176&quot;]The 1943 cent coins were struck on zinc coated steel blanks.&nbsp; The zinc wore quickly and also toned to a dark color so that many of the cents looked dark and bad in a short time.&nbsp; It has long been a practice to put these discolored or corroded cents in a bath that plated new zinc over the old coin, making a much nicer looking coin that had no collector value.&nbsp; Unfortunately your coin looks like that to me.&nbsp; Good conversation piece, but of limited numismatic value.&nbsp; Now wait until some people chime in who know more than me.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
