<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Grey184, post: 1827699, member: 59047&quot;]Just recently figured out that I seriously overpaid for a &#039;43 cent. Today I found out that it has been replated. </p><p><br /></p><p>I like to buy one AU, BU, or better example, within my budget, of coins I like to look for in circulation.</p><p><br /></p><p>Being a newb, I went to my LCS and bought what looked like very nice steel cent. It was labeled AU or BU. I don&#039;t remember which.</p><p><br /></p><p>Went to the Greater Atlanta monthly coin show and was told that the coins that I bought were probably re-plated.</p><p><br /></p><p>I learned from this site that the edge would tell. I checked, it&#039;s solid. No differing tones in the metal on said edge.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m not an invester. I actually like the coins. I enjoy the coins I have.&nbsp; I like getting coins in original state, in as good a condition as I can afford.</p><p><br /></p><p>Should I be pissed that these &#039;43&#039;s weren&#039;t labeled as re-plated, or re-processed? Should an LCS owner that&#039;s been in business for nearly 30 years know the diff between re-plated and original state? Should said coins be labeled &quot;re-plated&quot;?</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m ticked off enough about over paying for the coins to begin with, but now I&#039;ve been told that they probably were re-plated. This makes it even worse.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
