<p>[QUOTE="1865King, post: 7653180, member: 103207"]It doesn't look reprocessed to me. May be It's one of the ones I put back in circulation. Over the years I've put around 100 back in circulation hoping some kid gets one and gets the collecting bug. These were still very common into the 1960's. These are a low value coin. If not an uncirculated coin the value is very low. I know a local dealer told me he has a bucket with about 5,000 of them in it. They tended to corrode easily. Similar to the current cents that are copper plated zinc. I read somewhere that after WW 2 the treasury pulled them out of circulation and dumped millions in the Atlantic ocean. I don't know if it's true but, they dumped a lot of equipment from WW 2 in the ocean to get rid of it. What a way to wreck the environment.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
