    1943 D over D RPM? Steel Penny

    Hi folks been awhile since I posted. Found this real nice might be uncirculated RPM 1943 D over D steel penny in a box of pennies I purchased at auctioned on Saturday. Any input is appreciated. Mike / Mgfrd

      Looks like die deterioration doubling. This is not an RPM.

          Almost looks as if it had been plated in its day.

              Well, they are zinc-plated steel originally. If you mean re-plated, that could be the cause too. Good point.

                  Looks replated to me...either way, it is not an RPM.

                      Good looking penny in the middle of a bunch of copper pennies caught me eye. Thanks for the input

                          Something with the replating process enhances the die wear often creating dramatic offset doubling like the example shown. It will always run toward the rims.
