1943 Lincolns - Post Your Steel!

That would be planchet webbing, or "sissle" (as it is pronounced... I'm sure I've misspelled it). It is the material that is left over after the metal sheets that are of the correct composition/weight/thickness the coins they are intended to create have passed through the blanking press.

Hmmm... The thread was revived. Now to get banished :devil:
Here's a re-plate

 

Lance, my computer is soaked now because of this

 

This is going to sound like a waste of space, and it may very well be...

*lets suspense build*

But the post 2 before me is number 43!!!

It was going to be said, at some point.

Nice steelies above, by the way

Edit, I had to move it to 2 above me because Caz posted...

 

Some coincidence, Numis-addict. I would never have noticed that!

Cazkaboom, I have a couple of those plated ones too. Don't even know how I got them. No, really! Anyway, they sure look nice from a distance, but the camera hates them.

The part of your post I bolded gets me every time! I just see the word coin...:dead-horse:

 

Well, mine isn't as pretty as some of the other ones here, but considering how long it's been in the basement (which gets water in it with every major storm) I guess I'm lucky it isn't completely rusted. (Did they rust?) And besides, I didn't even know these existed until I found it. It would have been nicer from a financial point of view if it had been copper, but oh well - I still think it's really cool .

As a matter of fact I do.
I bought these exact coins pictured from you on another site and a few other beautiful LWC's as well!
Thanks! :greensmile:

 

HAHAHAHAH....stop changing your name! Want to sell them back to me? That's one set I've always regretted selling....it's absolutely KILLER and loved by all.

 

here's one that I recently sold on eBay: (that is if he ever pays)

 

I've been going by this name since last summer. Somebody tried to hack an online account and it was time to let go of the old dog name anyways. She was a good doggie but gone now and when I saw the old name it made me sad more often than I need to be.
I always wanted to find an example of one before the crack before I considered selling. You told me I could have the images and I am glad for them. No way can I take pictures that good.
There is a die clash on that pair. You can see it in the inside on the right of the N in CENT and it heads on up through the bottom of the E. There are other markers too. A dot to the left of O in OF AMERICA and a dot to the left of the U in UNITED. There's that whole area under UNUM too that is like a flat and has that distinct shape. I had found this one, and it might be a coin from the same dies before the crack. I would like to find one before the die clash as well.




I had found this one, and it might be a coin from the same dies before the crack. I am not very fond of the black spot on the one I found but I think I can see the same markers. I would like to find one before the die clash as well.

with using my magnifying glasses my 1943D the Mintmark lookrepunched or doubled with crack die variety from 2 clock to 7 oclock straight line crack die. and my 1943 S look sover s s/s mintmark. That's all.

 

Are there any proof like 1943' s floating around??

 

The US Mint stopped making proof coins from 1943-1949. Given the special prep proof dies need, the answer is a pretty resounding "no".

 

He did not say proof coins, but proof like coins and I assume he means graded as such. See http://www.cointalk.com/t210760-3/#post1566492. That is a 2003 graded MS69 PL like the Morgans. Regardless, I still know of no steel cents graded PL.
