<p>[QUOTE="Randy Abercrombie, post: 24889324, member: 92655"]Well.. It's much like with the current zinc cents. Zinc deteriorates quite readily. Unless a steel cent was kept in fairly stable conditions, it will be grey and unappealing. You can certainly still find very nice war cents in the $25.00-$35.00 range. I recently bought all three in MS66 holders for less than a hundred dollars.... I can't say who was behind the reprocessing craze but I would most imagine it was an industry driven by folks looking to make a quick buck after the war. Much like the guys that colorized state quarters twenty years ago. There sure are plenty of them out there.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
