<p>[QUOTE="BlondeWhit, post: 4559384, member: 99159"]Okay so there is like no other penny that I would normally intrigue me enough to post this asking advice from all of you. It's in pretty terrible condition. I do wonder if no one knows, then could I send it to professionals to find out without a doubt what the date is? I just wasn't sure if there would be ways to find out if I tried hard enough. Or is it really just a best guess? </p><p>Those of you that know even a little about error pennies would know that the jackpot penny to find would be a 1943 copper penny since almost all of the 1943 pennies were the only ones made of steel to conserve the copper that year. There have been a few steel 1944 pennies too which are also worth a buttload worth because, just like the copper 1943, there were a few transitional errors that made it through.</p><p>Anyways, it's been quite sometime since I've posted any questions and was really hoping y'all could give me any advice as to if this could be 1943!? The more I stare, the more it looks like what I want it to though. I did ask two other nonprofessionals what they think the date is, and I didn't throw out any dates so they would remain unbiased. Both of them said 1043 they think but again, they aren't professionals so now I'm asking y'all! </p><p>I have taken quite a bit of pictures that I'm putting on here mainly because with different lighting and different angle causes it to almost entirely change. It makes a huge difference apparently. I'm posting all the pics I took this just in case it's just maybe a lucky one that could make the difference, who knows. And again I would normally never try this hard to figure it out except that it could possibly be a one in a billion find if I were actually that lucky, but I'm trying not to get too excited into thinking it's anything.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
