H.L. HUNLEY SUBMARINE WARREN LASCH CONSERVATION CENTER North Charleston, South Carolina SC05cp $6.99	NOW ALSO AVAILABLE ON CLEANED STEEL CENTS When we rolled these on circulated steel pennies, they were pretty ugly. We cleaned and polished the fronts to make them more presentable. You will still see some staining or discoloration that was ground into the design during rolling, though. The backs will be a variety of ugliness, as we focused on making the design side more presentable. Most backs will have Lincoln and the 1943 date, but some will display the wheat stalks. After cleaning and polishing, we applied a light coat of clear rustproofing Krylon spray paint (matte finish) to seal them and avoid rust or other deterioration. Keep these away from water anyway! We only have 4 sets that cleaned up well. Catch them while you can because they’ll probably go quickly when we put any remainders on Ebay.
