1943-S Lincoln Wheat Steel Cent - Mint State - Real Deal!

Fake advertising is the worst. Avoiding the scams/counterfeits is becoming harder and harder. Before posting, I tried to prove it is not a genuine 1943-S steel cent. However, I handle it with much care.

Conclusion, this one, is the real deal.

Here are the qualifiers:

#1 - (no brainer) Does not have the "rezinced" luster, which takes away from the fine detail of a strike.

#2 - Compare the cent to other Graded Cents (PCGS). Look at Letter Sizes and Proportions, Font, Details of Lincoln bust, Normal die lines.

#3 - What are the expected imperfections of a steel cent? Circulation marks, Signs of rust on the edge/rim where there is no zinc coating (rezinced coins edge/rims are almost mirror luster. Original planchets have a band of no zinc, and the steel exposed should show some aging)

#4 - Compare to other like cents. I have included photos of this cent to compare (3 rezinced cents to the Left and 3 aged original to the Right)(1 rezinced to the Left and 1 original to the Right). You can see, this cent does not have the rezinced luster and does match the die details of the originals.

Therefore, I can conclude with surety, this is an orignal condition 1943-S steel cent. It is in MS condition and does compare to other PCGS MS66 coins.

• I am including 1 such comparison photo from PCGS.
• The compared PCGS coin is valued at $60USD

I believe a fair and reasonable auction start bid is $20.

I am also making the auction a 3 day event, because those who know this coin will not need a lot of time to decide.

This coin was part of a government unclaimed property auction from law enforcement. It's origin is unknown.
