This penny definitely copper worn some though.

That poor thing has been scraped within an inch of its' life......

 

Are you sure it's not an even rarer* 1908 pattern strike?

* population 0

 

Could be any copper cent. With only 13 known to exist it is highly unlikely to be a 1943.

 

After a bit of research, I think it's an even rarer find -- the previously unknown 1909-O trial strike!

The product of a highly secretive effort by Mint employees to preserve the New Orleans mint as a going concern, this issue was doomed when the presses were set up by the same bozos who set them incorrectly for Morgan dollars. You see the result -- a strike so weak that it couldn't even be issued for circulation. Oh, well, it was worth a try.

 

I'm pretty sure it's a 1961-D, struck in Dahlonega for the 100th anniversary of the mint closing.

 

Only one thing,aliens!!!.

 

What does the other side look like?

 

I’d say it priceless but I’d be lying. Spend it.

 

I don’t think it’s a capped die, but...
Just like a walk on the beach, big or small, we look at them all.

 

Looks to me like a copper round that Columbus lost while coming ashore yesterday. It's super that you found it. Thanks for sharing.

 

Boy @John1397 you really stepped in the muck with this post. lol

 

I’ll say.

 

Looks to me like it could be anything you want it to be. Especially now that 'Legalize It' has taken hold virtually countrywide.

 

That's too funny and you guys are hilarious!!
Also, I'm surprised that he isn't a newbie.
