Fjord 0 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. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Harpo 0 Posted June 25, 2007 Report Share Posted June 25, 2007 This should be interesting. Will you get it certified? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Vfox 0 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. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Fjord 0 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. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

just carl 0 Posted June 28, 2007 Report Share Posted June 28, 2007 Sounds like a simple plating episode. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
