[QUOTE="mikenoodle, post: 1215903, member: 307"]When a 1943 cent is examined, here's what to look for: If the coin is lustrous the place to look is the edge. If the edge is shiny like the rest of the coin, then this is a good sign that the coin has been re-plated or re-processed. On an original coin, the edges (sides) of the coins will be dull and quite often have small patches of rust. When the coin is lustrous and the sides look dull, this is usually a good sign that the cent is original. Never pay a premium for a re-processed cent, they are basically worthless other than for the education they may provide about buying original 43 cents.[/QUOTE]
