<p>[QUOTE=&quot;desertgem, post: 1832865, member: 15199&quot;]Larry, could you take a photo of the edge of the coins to be sure they are not replated. Anyone looking for DD, RPM. etc. should automatically check the edge to be sure the steel core is visible ( replating covers it up). The reason is that replating was usually done without a good cleaning and blobs of corrosion or zinc rot on the surface would be covered by new zinc plating, but the beneath junk would tend to raise the surface, or make doubling effects stronger. In the 60&#039;s there were many firms that would replate the 1943 cent. It is fairly common for collectors to not notice this, but such removes any value.&nbsp; A fellow collector sent in hundreds in the late 60s and they are probably still circulating among collectors.</p><p><br /></p><p>I am not saying yours are, because I can&#039;t see the edge, but it would make things easier if we knew.&nbsp;&nbsp; And welcome to the forum.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
