I'm a newbie. Used tollect with my G=Pa. I have some coins I am learning about over the last year or so but when it comes right down to it I get "coinfused" (I made that phrase up, i think) anyway, some HONEST help would be wonderful.

What were you asking advice on? Seems like you just gave us a list of coins..not a question in sight.
I doubt very much that you have a 1943 copper penny. Test it with a magnet. It will stick. It is copper plated. The odds of your having a genuine 1943 copper cent are so infinitesimal that there are not enough decimal places to calculate them.
Welcome to CT. I usually recommend getting a redbook, but you have an eclectic mix and probably already have one anyway. Best thing to do is take a clear pic of both sides and only do 1 coin/post. Remember, if you can't see the details in the pic, neither can we. Try to be as specific as possible with what you want to know (don't say "does this look different"). Finally, don't overload the board with all of them at once. It's just my opinion, but dumping a 6 or 8 posts in a short period of time may cut down on the number of responses, especially if they are basic questions. Occasionally, some of the members can get a little goofy (or snarky and sarcastic), but when you've been here awhile and see the number of newbie collectors that insist on arguing that experienced collectors don't know what they're talking about, sometimes you may get a little wonky and pre-emptive. If you are interested in learning about numismatics, it will apparent to most of us and the level of snark will subside. And even though you're new and don't know which member is knowledgeable and which member doesn't know certain parts of their anatomy from a hole in the ground, the consensus of the responses will usually be accurate. Good Luck
