<p>[QUOTE="Conder101, post: 639218, member: 66"]One thing you can do is look at the edge of the coin. The steel cents were struck on planchets that were punched from zinc plated steel strip so the zinc plating is NOT on the edge of the coins. If you look at the edges it is possible to see the different layers. The reprocessed cents have the plating over the entire surface of the coin and the layers won't be seen on the edge.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
