[QUOTE="CircCam, post: 3233853, member: 85675"]I’ve found they either look way too shiny, almost like a bright metallic stainless steel colored spray paint, or a completely dull flat grey while appearing uncirculated. No luster present despite looking very clean. Another dead giveaway is the edges... even with clean original surfaces, the edges usually show some dark uneven spots/splotches. An unaltered uncirculated steel cent will usually still have cartwheel luster, something the reprocessed ones clearly lack.[/QUOTE]
