Ever seen a monster toned 1943 steel...

cent?

The "war" penny made of steel with the zinc plating.

How does zinc tone (or not tone)?

    I had a 43-S steel cent years ago that had toned a reddish blue color, but it had a couple of pretty bad spots. Stupidly, I dipped it and it came out ugly pink. I got disgusted and spent it.

  • I just got one, I will try to post a picture, It has nice pastel colors, especially yellow and purples, although it is not monster toning, It is the most nicely toned steel cent I have ever seen.
