Will you stop touching me..........

 

transporter malfunction, sorry
Also, no longer 73 Riviera owner, sold it today, worth- 7000, got 3300. wife left so it had to go.

 

Sad dear fellow. Oh so sad.........

 

3300 for a 73 Rivera ?
My leg is really getting sore from everyone trying to pull on it !

 

Heck, wish I had my father in law's (God rest him) '72. Now there was a classic........

 

I found one of those copper 1943 pennies too.

 

It is hard to tell, if it's real, even through a picture, first, you should look around the rim, for a line going around, where it was put together.

 

If I found a copper 1943 I would assume it is a fake and stick it in a 2x2, because I keep interesting stuff like that.

 

Here's my '43 "copper" - this is what one can do with lighting...

 

I found a 1943 penny under a rock in the Aleutians islands about 25 years ago. I kept it as a souvenir not knowing until this Christmas that it had any value. I think it was stolen by a renter about 22 years ago I live in Fairbanks Alaska and Sullivan was the name of the tennant. Strange story but true. What is statute for theft of million dollar coins. ? It had been put there during the war I'm sure. It was in a maching gun emplacement. Looked mint.

Thank you for your service.

 

What color was the cent?

 

I have been holding on to several 1943 wheat pennies, and I've been reading your different forums for a while. So I would like your advice on the ones pictured here. Mind you they do stick to a magnet, and I have not taken them to a coin store nor have I gotten them looked at other than myself. As, I'm frequently told, if they are real you may get ripped off. Can you give me your honest opinion regarding my coins, not sure how to go about getting them graded and valued. any help or advice would be greatly appreciated. I ask for forgiveness regarding the quality as the only camera I own is on my cell, which is how i took the picture's. Thanks in advance. All input is welcomed and appreciated.

 

If each sticks to a magnet, that's your answer; they're not of the valuable type, unfortunately. The two outer coins are clearly steel, and while I can't make out the center one, the above still goes. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.

 

The 1990 film "Ghost" features this coin:



The coin is a Lincoln copper cent dated 1943-S.

In the film, Patrick Swayze, the ghost, levitates the coin to prove that he is present to his girlfriend Demi Moore and a medium Whoopi Goldberg.

It appears that Patrick Swayze took it with him.

 

I would like to see a pic of this coin, can you get a neighbor or friend to take pic for you
