[QUOTE="Davada, post: 71965, member: 3344"]Heh, I wish it was copper :-) It's a standard steel cent. It's not blast white; that is, there's some light gray toning on the devices that doesn't show up well under lighting like this. Yes, you're right, looks like there's a couple of hits on the reverse lettering. I even tried looking directly for them after I looked closely at the photos -- they're invisible to the naked eye. Only under high magnification and with harsh across-the-face lighting can those marks be seen. This is easily my favorite coin in my collection (one of the cheapest too!) I've had it since I was a kid, and it's got great character. I still can't get over how clean the fields are (minus the lamination, of course). I just bought a 1943-S cent which is a drop-dead gem, and it's not as clean as this.[/QUOTE]
