<p>[QUOTE="lowe_j_d, post: 131530, member: 5613"]I recently came into possession of a 1943 copper Lincoln cent. I have several 1943 steel cents, and this one looks identical to them. At first I was thinking it may be copper plated, but it's not. It does not stick to a magnet, while the steel ones do. I then questioned it as being a modified "8"...nope, not that either. It looks identical to a '43 steel cent. I scanned it in at 4800DPI for clarity purposes, and have uploaded it to image shack, since it is too large for this website. If you would enlighten me as to if it is real or not, I'd appreciate it. Thanks in advance.</p><p><br /></p><p>-Justin</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://img457.imageshack.us/my.php?image=penny8rc.jpg" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://img457.imageshack.us/my.php?image=penny8rc.jpg" rel="nofollow"><img src="http://img457.imageshack.us/img457/6365/penny8rc.th.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
