Are these Steel Pennies Reprocessed?

    Unsure of these. I suspect they fall under the category of too good to be true, but they don't look like the other reprocessed steel pennies I've seen where they were shiny or the plating bumpy. What do you think? IMG_5455.JPG IMG_5458.JPG S20180519_0001.jpg S20180519_0002.jpg S20180519_0006.jpg S20180519_0007.jpg S20180519_0008.jpg S20180519_0010.jpg

    Show the edges. The original sheets of zinc plated steel was processed before punching the blanks out for the coin, SO on ORIGINAL plating you can see the steel core in the center with zinc on outside.

    If REPROCESSED, all surfaces including the edges will be the SAME zinc plating as they replate using zinc solution. Jim
