Some people just love to criticize, a great way to get through life. Yes I do have a 1943 Lincoln bronze wheat penny and yes I know enough to use the magnet the coin adheres to the magnet. And another thing I do have pictures of the coin in my photo. I have attempted several times to post, however I am mot able to do so.
I guess I am a stroll as many of you very kind gentleman stated.
There is more to life then getting overly excited over a coin. Now i will keep my mouth closed and go back in my cave.

 

I stated my comment to the statements made. Some people just love to criticize, a great way to get through life. I will make no further comments about my 1943 Lincoln 1943 bronze STEEL wheat penny. And again, yes is does adhere to the magnet. Life's to short to get overly excited over a darn coin. If it has any monetary value my grandchildren can fight over that.
Now as some out standing gentleman have stated I will go back in my cave.

 

Thank you.. that's all I (we) needed to know

 

A normal 1943 cent would stick to a magnet because it is made of steel.
If a 1943 cent looks like it's made of bronze and sticks to a magnet, it has been plated after it left the mint. The big money coin is the 1943 cent that will not stick to a magnet.

 

BINGO!

 

The 1943s sticks to a magnet very hard and the 1944 barely sticks to the magnet. You can hardly see the 3 but under my scope I see it. Can someone help me I want to know if they are real

 

Not with those pictures. They do not even include the entire date of the supposed 43.

 

Can you see it

 

The steel looking 1944 sticks to magnet barely the copper 1944 doesn't stick at all and the 1943 sticks hard

 

It is steel that someone has copper coated.

All I can make out is a copper looking shine. Just a stab, but someone zinc plated it. Zinc is mildly magnetic.

BTW, coins have 2 side and both are generally necessary to grade, authenticate, etc.

 

1944 all silver looking barely sticks

 

This one sticks hard

 

1944 doesn't stick at all do you think any of the 3 might be real and why

 

Zinc plated

 

Copper plated

 

So none are valuable or rare? And Ty for helping me
