1943 copper cent.

Just back from PCGS. It straight graded and is going up for auction. What auction service would be best?

That's a beauty! I'm no grader but is a Red Brown to me
the 4 looks like Die Chip maybe

 

I think you should crack it out and buff it up with the ol' dremel before you even think of selling it!

 

Awesome coin. How did you come to find it.

 

Since you had such good luck with PCGS's April 1 grading tier, I'd recommend an auction ending on the same date next year.

 

eBay, less of a rake-off...

 

Sweet very nice! The slab it's in should say 4u2nv.

 

April fools!!

 

Well darn. I thought someone would believe me. Maybe next year.

 

I was gonna say, if PCGS graded that to be a real 1943 copper, you could hang it on a wall next to Larry's 1909 VDB matte proof lol

 

Keep the positive thoughts up.

 

Nice coin, I would keep it !!!!

 

I knew this was a joke.... it would have long since been ballyhooed in the press and all coin forums.... Good one though.....

 

I would not say anything at first but are my eyes seeing a small bump where the 3 was a 8 and polished off? and is the 4 Right?

 

LOLOL

 

It's a real 43 with a copper plate. I will say that whoever did it, did a nice job. It's still a pretty coin. Cost me 60 cents.

 

Nice!

 

In case anyone wonders why there are so many copper 1943 cents, at one time they were openly advertised. From a 1962 "Numismatic Scrapbook Magazine".

 

Mystery solved! Nice work, Sherlock.

 

One look at the date and I wouldn't even consider buying it!
