1943 Steel Penny

Here is another one I've had for a while. It one photo it appears to have a 3 just below and to the right of the 3 in the date, while in another photo, it's not really visible.

Looks like a small 3.. It's nothing. Probably some weird stain or metal corrosion.

 

Hey @Fred Weinberg you get to use your word again. It’s Fred’s word so I’ll let him use it.

Numismatic Pareidolia -

.....and you can use it anytime -

.....seems to be needed a lot on
this site anyway.....!

 

I'm not going to get slapped by my grandma for using that word indoors am I?

 

Depends on who your grandpa is...

 

Or how big his pareidolia is.

 

I had my pareidolia removed because it looked like Rodney Dangerfield.

 

Well played!

 

I guess I'd rather see an extra 3 in my penny than Jesus in my toast anyday.

Side note: Everyone here has been awesome with helping me to identity some coins I've had questions about for quite some time and it is greatly appreciated!!
