<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Conder101, post: 361213, member: 66&quot;]Quick way to tell if they have been reprocessed is to look at the edge of the coin.&nbsp; The steel strip was given the zinc plating not the individual planchets, so the edges of the steel cents are not zinc plated and you can typically see the color difference between the zinc and the steel.&nbsp; If the coin has been replated the plating will cover the entire surface of the coin and you won&#039;t see the color differences on the edge.&nbsp; This test isn&#039;t completely foolproof, but it is probably about 95% accurate.</p><p><br /></p><p>(what a coincidence, this is my 1,943 post.)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
