Hello everyone, I found this 1943 steel penny, I know it's not in good shape at all but it's just the idea that it is a 1943 steel penny I guess. It weighs 2.6 and I did the magnet test and sure enough it stuck to it. Yahoo!! Just wanted to share. I LOVE COIN ROLL HUNTING!
You should try the Ice Cream test.. If Lincoln licks the Ice Cream then It's fake.. If he doesn't then It's real! Kidding.. Nice find!
Ice cream roll... yum... Nice find! One of my pocket pieces right now is a 1943-S, EF details but rusty. I don't remember if it was a CoinStar find or change from a self-checkout machine.
I think you would be better off if it didn't stick to a magnet. But the color is the give away. Always nice to find a steelie. They made a ton of them and they are still out there. Pulled out 2 from Coin Star, but worse condition than yours.
