<p>[QUOTE="Just Carl, post: 117549, member: 4552"]It appears we have two threads of similar nature. As to reprocessed 1943 Cents check out the post stating How to spot a reprocessed 1943 steel penny. As noted mostly they can be spotted but in many cases they can not be easily spotted. It all depends on the method of processing. Some of these were actually recoated with Zinc right over the rust of the steel and can be easily spoted. Many others were overly coated so they have enlarged letters and numbers. However, some were done as experiments and with a good grade coin and a light electroplating addition, the results are remarkably similar to a Mint issued coin. </p><p>Again, read the other post on this subject. The edge difference is probably caused by exposure to the paper wrapping in a roll where the edge touches but the surface is hidden by other coins.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
