<p>[QUOTE="desertgem, post: 1464327, member: 15199"]1944-45 "Shell copper" cents have the same weight and tolerances of the pre-1943 and the post 1945 cents until 1982, so there would be no discernible weight difference. Also the die appearance would not reflect on the 1943 bronze cents, as they came from an individual bronze leftover ( transitional) planchet and were as far as I can find each struck with a difference working die ( if someone has info to the contrary, I would like to know it). So the question with the OP coin is whether any other 1943 steel cent was struck with a similar die ( and I have not seen or read about such, and it would have made some reference for sure). I am leaning to a struck counterfeit if the weight is correct for bronze, </p><p><br /></p><p>here is a thread of mine on a 1943 "bronze" counterfeit that I had in my possession for a while.</p><p><a href="http://www.cointalk.com/t99229/" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.cointalk.com/t99229/">http://www.cointalk.com/t99229/</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
