Grease filled die was my first thought. My second thought is I need to go thru all my ‘43 cents and see if I have any like that.lol
Those circulated steelies are very susceptible to corrosion. If that color is true, this coin appears to have been cleaned. The missing 4 is common. Greaser.
Yeah go check them out ..I have like 50 of these 1943 penny’s but this one was special lol. And no I don’t clean any coins and it looks natural old. Thank you guys!
I didn't say you cleaned it. It's over 75 years old, and the color suggests that somebody cleaned it.
