<p>[QUOTE=&quot;bugo, post: 1801474, member: 53226&quot;]I worked graveyard last night at the store, and a lady came in.&nbsp; She paid for her merchandise with exact change using bills, but I saw she had a large bag of change.&nbsp; I told her that I could change her coins for bills and she accepted.&nbsp; She had almost fifteen dollars worth of change.&nbsp; I found a bicentennial quarter, then I saw it lying there: the reverse of a very shiny 1943-P steel penny.&nbsp; It&#039;s in very good, but lightly circulated condition.&nbsp; I tried to take some pictures, but they were terrible and didn&#039;t even come remotely close to giving the coin justice.&nbsp; It&#039;s a really nice coin, not quite as nice as my BU &#039;43 but still a very attractive coin.&nbsp; This is the second steel penny I&#039;ve gotten at work.&nbsp; I obtained the first one a few months back when a regular customer was counting out change and I noticed the steel penny in her hand.&nbsp; I offered her $1 for it and she took it.&nbsp; The obverse on that coin is pretty scratched and the penny probably wasn&#039;t worth more than 50 cents but it was in circulation and my mission is to save coins from the furnaces of the mint so I was happy to pay a buck for it.&nbsp; I got the one tonight at face value.&nbsp; I just wonder if it&#039;s possible that it was replated at one time.&nbsp; I&#039;m sure it wasn&#039;t in circulation the whole time.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
