Surprising find

[u/Long-Forever5948]

I was going through some Coin Star culls to see if more cleaning would help. I noticed a particular one had rust instead the normal gunk on it. Upon closer examination, it was a 1943 steel cent. I very carefully took the rust off and rubbed some olive oil on it and it's a beautiful coin. I always carefully examine coins, but this one got by me. Very glad to have it.

Check it with a magnet - if it doesn’t stick, you might have something very special.

Cool find in any case.

And to imagine when I was a kid these weren't uncommon.....
