Fjord Posted June 25, 2007 Report Share Posted June 25, 2007 A 1941 S cent, zinc plated in a 2x2 marked as "1943 S". Coin does not attract a magnet. Photos to follow tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harpo Posted June 25, 2007 Report Share Posted June 25, 2007 This should be interesting. Will you get it certified? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vfox Posted June 25, 2007 Report Share Posted June 25, 2007 Sounds like a normal wheatback got stuck in with some of those re-zinc plating lots of 1943's. My thought, is it's essentially ruined, other than maybe a conversation coin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fjord Posted June 25, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 25, 2007 This should be interesting. Will you get it certified? I don't think it would certify - it's not a true steel cent and the surfaces are as unoriginal as can be. In its current form it's a deceptive coin. The less informed may think they have a rarity when they in fact have a common cent that's been plated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

just carl Posted June 28, 2007 Report Share Posted June 28, 2007 Sounds like a simple plating episode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
