<p>[QUOTE=&quot;illini420, post: 1593177, member: 19423&quot;]I am almost certain that your coin is a reprocessed steel cent.&nbsp; When the steel cents lightly circulated they quickly became pretty ugly.&nbsp; Some people would then strip off of old dull and dark zinc coating and then re-plate the coins with new bright and shiny zinc.&nbsp; One way to spot a reprocessed cent is that the fields are not as smooth and often have a rough appearance.&nbsp; Reprocessed cents can sometimes look really nice, but numismatically they are worth very little.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
