<p>[QUOTE=&quot;desertgem, post: 1854335, member: 15199&quot;]Welcome to the forum&nbsp; Smokey. What they are talking about is that in the 50s and 60s , it was common to replate the 1943 (P,D,S) with zinc to make it appear to be uncirculated and shiney. Since it was the responsibility of the collector to clean them before sending them in, they were processed with crud on the coin and it could produce small bubbles under the zinc. Since replating process covers all of the coin and not just the top and bottom as original was , replating also plated the edge of the coin with zinc. So if you can&#039;t see the steel center and it all appears zinc, it is replated and worth little compared to an uncirculated&nbsp; re-plated one.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
