either way is fine, we'll all look

 

Your last set of images of the obverse are much clearer. The grainy, mushy appearance are indicators of a fake. Along with the weight and the look of the reverse, I'm about 99.9% sure it's a fake.

 

Ok I put the die clash on a new thread but here is my 1969 S DDO.
Now I know there are scratches on it, yes I did that I cleaned it and like a dumb dumb I didn't flip over the scotch bright sponge, none the less its doubled. I have more pics will post in a moment

 

Here are some more pics. Took them with a microscope. I have some of the fake 43 copper as well..LOL

 

Here are some updated microscope pics of my fake 43 D copper

 

About the correct weight if bronze coated, but would attract a magnet. ???

 

Looks like it has the doubled mintmark. Why would a fake have that?

 

No

 

Because it's fake

 

It looks very similar to mine and think about it people they were setting these up for steel when everything was set up on copper so maybe that's why the three doesn't look exactly how the typical steel Sansar because the mana pressure it takes to stamp the coin. I'm wondering if this penny isnt the rea deal also

 

This thread is nearly a year old. I suggest you start a new one for your inquiry.

 

Bobby, yours appears to be a 1942.

 

Yes I also see 1942

 

take a closer look

 

I did. 1942.

 

Yup, it is still 1942.

 

I agree, definitely a 1942-D.

 

People have you all just surfed the web at all and looked at all the differences is the three' s. The mint obviously had to do some trial and error to see how the stamping of penny design would hold up against the much more tougher steel. I do believe there is more than one design that would be acceptable to even the coin gradeing company's. As soon as I have the time to figure out how to start a new thread I'm gonna. And to the guy who owns the 1943 copper penny on this thread I'll give you say $100 any day you want to if you think it's a fak even I'd send it to the gradeing company

 

Well it's not fake per say but it's a 1942 D copper cent. And although you can believe whatever you want regarding the design we actually know what style of 3 the mint used. After all the 1943 copper cents are just wrong planchet errors and the dates look just like regular steel issued cents of that year.
