1943 Copper Penny Found

I'm shocked at the math on this. The figures make it possible for a steel cent and a copper cent to be within .0064 grams apart. Never thought it could be that close.

Ill be back on the first so not too long, possbly earlier, im racing in the henley rowing regatta in england so it depends on results

 

Now that's really cool. Good luck to you.

 

This is a die struck fake. Probably from cast dies. I;m also not convinced they used a 1943 cent for the original model. i don't think the details of Lincoln and his coat are right for that era.

A bubble on the surface of the cast die would cause a void in the die and a raised "bubble" on the surface of the coin.

Shipped to NGC on Friday and he expects it back on Wednesday?

Not on purpose, but they do get by them from time to time. Same thing goes for NGC.

Say "Thank you ANACS". They were busy identifying counterfeits and removing them from the market for 14 years before the other services started.

 

Thank you for putting in a good word for ANACS . They are my favorite grading co. because they always are friendly and treat everyone right. Some folks have been giving them a bad wrap and now other folks are starting to believe this nonsense. I trust ANACS slabbed coins as much or maybe more than any other TPG. They all can make a few mistakes ever now and then because each co. has a lot of different workers grading and authenticating the coins.

 

Thanks!

 

I'm a big fan of ANACS theyve been around for a lot longer than other companies, they dont get the credit for it but they are a great company with good realistic prices and amazing customer service

 

Me too, once I got to really looking at it. You know, there should really be a hole for the 2 types of 1943 planchet for each mint in the albums...

 

Good Luck! :thumb:

 

You got me looking closer and I think you're right. A pic for comparision. For me it's the slope of the nose in relation to the forehead. The mouth and chin are different also.

 

spot on! also in the 'E' good eyes!

 

Theres an extra letter in every word, everything on the reverse is doubled

 

If it was a fake why would the details be different than the originals? it doesnt make sense they wouldnt take the time to edit a 60's penny to make it a 1943 and cast the dies when there are hundreds of millions of real 1943 cents you can buy for just about a cent...

 

Why do you keep arguing and defending your coin. It was sent to NGC to be authenticated and graded (right?). Just let that speak for itself. When you get the results, you will know if it is fake or not.

 

If you tell a lie often enough...

 

Certified or it ain't real.

 

With the possible weights there would not be a way to know the correct hole to put them in.

 

What did PCGS grade the coin?

 

Since I get chastised when ever I tell the truth and say that something is worthless, since we all know that everything here has immense value, I'll say it:

Value: Priceless!


At least here.

 

He said he would be back the first of the month.
