Does anyone know if these dies that coined the 1943s were different? I always wondered about that.

 

It seems to me that they were struck by the same dies, but I might be thinking of a different coin.

 

Of course they were different...they had an S below the date...

 

What are you, horsing around with my serious question? @fish4uinmd, why don't you swallow a hook or something? Make sure it's a sharp one.

I have to assume they used the same dies as for the steelies, since they were unaware of the few copper planchets that were being minted.

 

I couldn't resist Eddie.

 

Nice, but that spot on the reverse on the right puts me off. Make a nice necklace for an Etsy shop perhaps.

 

I have an unopened roll of P, D, and S bought in early 60's. The one in the picture is a loose coin from the roll of each I opened and traded for other coins over the years. These were marketed as Poor Man's Copper 43 Cents.
I believe they were $1.00 a roll when originally purchased.
