[QUOTE="physics-fan3.14, post: 8659487, member: 19165"]When you say "redipped", what you probably mean is "replated" or "reprocessed." Just to be clear... this isn't a thing that the mint did. This was an attempt by scammers to fix these coins up and make them shiny again and sell them for a large profit. Be very careful of how you dispose of these (and yes, disposal is the only correct destination). Many of these reprocessed cents were coated in Mercury, which is a highly toxic substance and must be disposed of with care. More recent models might have chome, which is less awful for the environment.[/QUOTE]
