Plated. No way to grade it.

 

I have one that's not plated...

 

I was thinking a ms67 but if I send it to pcgs in the capital plastics holder will they return it to me?? cause capital plastics cost money..

 

Mine come out of a mint set as well so I kinda don't think it is plated

 

the reason I think its plated is the factor of its reflective surface...

 

The mint has never used capital plastics holders, they were assembled later on. The coin looks plated to me as well.

 

Sounds like you have it all figured out. Are you sure they made mint sets in 1943?

 

did you pull it out of a mint set??? or a 2x2 flip???

 

Ok it was free to me sk Ty

 

I thought the first U.S. Mint set was 1947. There were made up mint sets before then but they were post mint selected and packaged. if I am wrong someone will provide a reference.

You can tell if it is plated by looking at the edge. Since 1943 cent was zinc plated on top and bottom of the steel core, If it is an unplated cent, you should be able to see the difference between the zinc and the steel on the edge. If plated, it will all look the same zinc.

 

I was told it came out of a mint set sorry

 

The edge looks like it has a line around it

 

no its not plated nor is it cleaned the coins came from set, they where placed in the capital holder then vacuum sealed over 10 years ago the 43 was in a roll of gem bus cents

 

also the severe spotting

 

It also looks plated to me. Hard to get a good look from the pictures though. I'd never heard about these coins being plated until a couple of months ago. Since then it's amazing the ones you see being sold as BU or Gem. Once you see a nice example of a true BU then you'll be able to spot the ones that have been plated a mile away.

The first mint sets were made in 1947 and the first proof sets in 1936 though no proof sets were made between 1943 and 1949.

Sorry, but it's replated. Apparently very common on steelies for whatever reason.

 

im glad my 1943 d cent is not plated... its from a gem bu roll that was kept in a dry storage..

 

Ok if you notice the high poslish on these 1943 pds cent that is a demarcation of it being reprocessed - relaminated. Cents.. also the line marks on the obverse. If you compare the 43d in the capital holder to any of these cents it has no shiney ness next to its natural luster and. Doesn't have a processing line as well as no nics or bagware marks
