<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Mirza Beck, post: 2434024, member: 32583&quot;]Hello Friends, its been a long time since I posted. I think this is worth a post for all that love Lincoln Cents. When it came out the roll, I put it to the side, and asked a person who has 20/20 vision to see if this is a 3 a 1943. He twirled it in the light for a few seconds and said &quot; Its a 3 &quot; I did not have my magnifying glass with me at the time. I asked him 3 times. He said &quot; Nothing would fit but a 3 in that spot.</p><p><br /></p><p>I took it home. Took several photos, but I was tired from my daily work shift and the 1st set of pic did not satisfy me. So, I twireled it in the ligth with a magnifying glass in hand. And I too saw the dying smashed impression of the 3 for a brief seconds.</p><p><br /></p><p>A while ago I had brought a lot cents form some guy that collected them for years. And in that lot was a bunch of steels as well. I am sure, that I had more than one that I held in my hand that had the 3 missing or smithred etc. I checked ebay and etc to find a similar die that casued this to happen on a steel cent. But only the 4 silent in 1943 showed up online. <b>Do you have a steel cent 1943 with a silent 3?</b> It would be nice just to compare... <i>Perhaps we can match the plates. </i></p><p><br /></p><p><b>I did the magnet test. Its copper.&nbsp; </b></p><p><br /></p><p>I took a second set of pictures with different lighting conditions and setting. The surface is clean no scratch marks or tolling used to create that. But there is subtle die clash overlapping the DATE area making it a bit hard to see the 3 with a Camera. So GOD guided me put it flat on a paper scanner and that produced more desired reults with ofcourse the die clash and stuck thru errors within it on bottom part of linclon coat area overlapping towards the DATE.</p><p>The S mint mark is there. Some photos show more of its detail then others.</p><p>When it came out of the roll I realized the letters are a bit bigger then normal just with a naked eye. I have seen so many of these in my treasure hunting. The DDO part is hard to capture but I saw some minor details just to begin that side later if the 3 is confirmed by more eyes. Or the likey hood of it being there?</p><p>The reverse is a bit FAT as well...ONE CENT is a bit bold. Hard to get into the doubing due to the gluey way of the surface making it hard to get into the doubling edges-lines</p><p><br /></p><p>In the future I have a appointment with a&nbsp; friend who has a microscope that can take a pic&nbsp; to really get into the details. Till then this is what I have to show as pic. aAppreciate your views and vote.</p><p><br /></p><p>God Bless</p><p>Beck</p><p>PS:&nbsp; The black n white photos are from the scanner. The Liberty and date photo I had to tilt the coin to get inside the doubling.</p><p>[ATTACH]506059[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]506059[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]506057[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]506062[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]506063[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]506064[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
