<p>[QUOTE="mikenoodle, post: 765521, member: 307"]the easiest way to tell is to look at the edge of a steel cent. If it looks just the same as the faces, then it has been reprocessed. Most original 1943 cents are easy to tell because the faces are zinc (coating) but the planchet itself is steel and the edges do not have a zinc coating. It's also interesting to note that many of these cents have rust on the edges from the bare steel corroding over time.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
