<p>[QUOTE="tommyc03, post: 11082741, member: 17665"]Larry, do not be so quick on it not being re-plated. There are many seasoned collectors here with a lot of knowledge. Using caps and jumping up and down is not going to help you in the future. Littleton Coin Company has been re-plating these since Maynard Sundman owned the company back in the 40's. These were widely used in science experiments in the 50's and right on up to today. Steel cents have a very unique look when in original uncirculated condition. Often times they were cleaned before the plating process and other times they were not, and rust followed more quickly. Some were done well, and many were not. If you are looking for an RPM, please narrow the focus to just the mint mark and enlarge without going overboard. I'm not seeing the updated photos at my end.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
