<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Travlntiques, post: 1827745, member: 39129&quot;]Well, if you only bought one I would consider it pretty cheap tuition as there are plenty of ways to lose hundreds of dollars in this hobby. One thing that you should look for with these Steel Cents is the &quot;cartwheel effect&quot; ie: luster. Plated examples will always be shiny, like mirrors because the luster will have worn off during circulation resulting in a nice smooth surface. I think somewhere on cointalk there is a thread with photos of both original &amp; plated surfaced coins....the difference is pretty noticeable side by side. It&#039;s pretty common for these to be platted, I have a few in my first set of Lincolns. It&#039;s good to own a few problem coins so you know what they look like in the future, sorry you had to take a price hit though![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
