1943 silver penny

Since reeding is "put" onto the coin at the same time it is struck this one would not. If it was an 11 Cent coin (A cent struck on a STRUCK dime) then it would....but this is just a cent struck on a dime PLANCHET.

The "L" in Liberty is not there. Don't know why this is. Not a hard strike?
As you can tell I don't know much about coins. I contacted Heritage and will go forward from there.
Thanks for all the help guys!

 

The dime planchet is smaller than a normla cent planchet so therefor some detail on one side is going to be missing a bit.

THAT'S what I was talking about!!! Good catch, Ed!

There is a 1943-S and a 1943 'cent on dime planchet', both PCGS AU-55 on Heritage. Both have buy it now prices of $8000.

 

Does anybody know how many 1943 penny struck on a dime planchet are out there?
I keep getting conflicting information from different sources.

 

Wow, pretty nice! I'll need to find a few of them for myself. Very awesome, and if you are willing on selling it, I think heritage would be the best place IMO. Very nice. :thumb:

I contacted Heritage and they said that they had some past auctions with 1943 penny struck on dime planchet but I can't find any such coins on their site.
I heard that there are about 40 bronze 1943s out there and EVERYBODY knows about this coin. BIG BUCKS!
Nobody knew anything about a 1943 penny struck on a dime planchet until i had it authenticated by ANACS. Now its a common coin?
Really having a hard time finding out a price on this coin.
I had e-mails giving me estimates between 17 cents and 120,000 dollars.
I feel like I'm buying a used car.
Does anyone have any advise?:headbang:

 

Sounds like Kurt is buying the next round of drinks!!! Good luck Kurt!

Get it slabbed by PCGS or NGC. That's your best bet.

The 17 cent person was trying to scam you. $120,000 does not sound impossible.

 

Let me just say, that's an awesome coin!!

 

As noted putting a price tag on a coin that so few know anything about is just to difficult. You could attempt to put a value on a 57 Chevy for instance since it is known how many were made. But no one really knows how many survived. Even worse for evaluation with an item no one knows for sure how many were made, distributed, distroyed, etc. In a situation like yours, you could very well have the only one left if more than one was produced. Tomorrow someone could pop up with a thousand of them. Just no one knows. If you have possibly one of 5, look at what a 1913 Liberty Head Nickel is worth. Also, note the problem of price and demand. If no one wants that coin and it is the only one in existance, it is stull worth nothing. Way to many variables with something like that to properly evaluate. Myself, I think I would resend it to PCGS for another opinion. Just my opinion.

 

Put it up for sale for $120,000 and you'll find out.

 

You're right. It does depend on a lot a variables.
Thanks guys. This site has been the only place that has given me sound advise.

 

Looks like user "Kurt" and I have something similar.

I will have her retrieve it from her Safe Deposit box along with the certificate and get more info and some photos online.

Thanks all,
PHstern
