I about jumped out of my chair when I first saw it, but that excitment turned into disappointment when it stuck to a magnet. I thought it was a very real looking dipped steal penny. A good fake. I thought I would share the photos of it. I guess I'll hold onto it for entertainment purposes. Also, if you all wouldn't mind, please give me our opinion as to the grade on this 1931S. Thanks.   11-01-2009, 11:41 PM   #2 (permalink) trooper4 Junior Member   Join Date: Nov 2008 Location: Greenville, SC Posts: 8 A better view.   11-02-2009, 12:03 AM   #3 (permalink) Just Carl Numismatist   Join Date: Nov 2005 Posts: 4,474 I'm a louse grader but for the 31S I'd say close to AU. I suppose most would say EF though. Now as to your 1943 Copper Cent. Those are really great. I've only got 3 of them. I presently have 2,650 1943 Steel Cents. Almost an entire roll of the Chromed ones. Those too are almost as difficult at the Copper plated ones. Most replated ones are with Tin or Zinc. Those are all fun to collect. If you don't want that 43 Copper let me know. They are not real common since anyone that has one keeps it for fun.   11-02-2009, 12:14 AM   #4 (permalink) rlm's cents Numismatist     Join Date: Feb 2007 Location: Oklahoma Posts: 5,536 My Mood: I need both sides of a coin to grade it and not so much glare. However, from what I can make out, I would say VF. __________________ The monkeys stand for honesty, Giraffes are insincere, And the elephants are kindly but They're dumb.

On the other item, I'd grade the 1931-S as VF. But the green stuff under Abe might deduct a few bucks from the value.   Bookmarks Digg del.icio.us StumbleUpon Google Would you like to support CoinTalk? Coin Talk Code of Honor 1.
