It wouldn't be hard to sell them to dealers since many people hoarded them; but, another sales technique is to electrochemically remove the zinc plating and re-plate them to make them look like they're shiny-new and sell them wherever novelties are sold. When I was a kid you could get the "reprocessed" steel cents from mixed-prize machines that operated like gumball machines. They dispensed little novelties in plastic capsules that would drop out as a gumball would. They could be found at many store entrances. I suppose unscrupulous people might try to pass them off as high grade examples.
