<p>[QUOTE=&quot;desertgem, post: 8252357, member: 15199&quot;]The 1943 cents are the only ones I have ever seen &quot;reprocessed&quot; and they are easy to determine. One was to produce fake copper cents for that year.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1454147[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>From a 1961 magazine. The other reprocessing was to renew the zinc coating on the original steel core as zinc being very reactive often became very damaged and dull. So this also was&nbsp; offered, but also easily distinguished because the coin metal was zinc plated as sheets and then the planchets punched out, so the center steel layer was visible from the side and often rusted if original. If the side was &quot;shiney&quot;&nbsp; like the surfaces rather&nbsp; than dull steel color , it was reprocessed.</p><p><br /></p><p>Jim[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
