Okay...dumb question time from the newbie

What in the heck is a "re-conditioned" coin????? Dipped, brillo padded, brassoed, all around messed with? I am very cautious of someone selling a re-conditioned coin.image

    Would 1943 steel cents that have been re-plated with zinc be considered reconditioned?
