[QUOTE="Victor, post: 391894, member: 5454"]I got some too. They are kind of chrome looking with a bluish tint. Littleton Coins sells refinished steel cents. Just wondering if mine are real or refinished? I wasn't around in 1943 and never saw a brand new steel cent. The blue tint is something I never saw before. Also got a worn 1852 silver 3 cent and a dirty 1866 3 cent nickel. Two badly bent Merc dimes, a 1965 Kennedy, and a 1853 Austrian cent [schilling]. A wrapped roll of 1958p unc, several single uncs- Quite a few IHCs. Several 1915D Lincolns, 1910s and others. Some of them look like they were painted with some copper spray and loaded with fingerprints. Looks like whoever painted them handled them when still wet. Weird. All in all= I was able to fill a few holes in my Whitman folders and start a nice set in a real nice empty and like new Library of Coins album I picked up. Now looking into how I can dump a big, big can of rejects and the 2 bent Mercs.[/QUOTE]
