<p>[QUOTE=&quot;BooksB4Coins, post: 2823279, member: 36230&quot;]Welcome, Mary; my condolences regarding your grandfather.</p><p><br /></p><p>1943 cents should have a &quot;silver&quot; color (not content - they contain no silver) as they were made using a different composition, supposedly due to the war. You are wise to question originality, and simply because many cents of this date have been &quot;reprocessed&quot;, which is simply another term for replated, which, for all sense and purposes, destroys collector interest and value. If you can post a few clear, well-focused photos, I&#039;m sure we can help nail down exactly what you have.</p><p><br /></p><p>That said, judging from your description, chances are great that the coin will not carry any sort of substantial collector premium, but this wouldn&#039;t change the fact that it&#039;s a tangible reminder of your grandfather, and for this alone should be considered priceless. Again, welcome to the forum.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
