I have no problem learn but when you believe in something you dont give up because others dont believe you. so no disrespect as i said before through right or wrong. we are all equal here and so I am willing to learn either way the coin flips.
I'm not saying I don't believe you. I'm telling you it's not possible. That is called common sense my friend.
What he said. What you believe happened is impossible. You don't begin to understand the minting process or you would understand that aspect.
I'm still waiting for an explanation as to why anyone would take a coin worth thousands of dollars, a steel 1944 cent, alter the date from 1944 to 1943, and lower its value. Any explanation @logos?
When was the last known over date? Have there been any after the 1942/41 dime? Ah, 1943 over 1942 nickel. Is that the last one? Have there been any in the last 75 years?
Every over date that I know of is the current year is printed over the previous year. I most assuredly do not know of any over date that is from the next year.

Now we see the issue. Don't watch YouTube! Most of those guys don't know the first thing about coins.
i dont watch videos on youtube. i wanted a picture of a 1944 steel penny's date to match to mine to show this could be what im saying the coin is. if you look at the dates the number raise to the left to right. same as the coin i have but behind the 1943 date the 1944 clearly shows
Is this thread a candidate for the award... 1- Most Stubborn OP of the year ??? OR 2- Most Stubborn OP EVER ???
Mornin' - I posted my first comment after the OP's first post, and went away for the weekend. Four pages of what I thought would occur. I told the OP about his coin when he contacted me directly, but I knew he wouldn't believe me, so I sent him here. ........my apologies.
The OP will probably write all of us off and submit it for grading. Once his money is wasted and it's returned, in a body bag, we'll never know what happened and we'll never hear from him again.
My Dad always said "Never apologize unless you actually did something wrong". In this case you just offered a second option, so no need to apologize.
You might never know. We call overdates as 19xx/yy based on which date appears strongest. But can you really know which date was applied first? Take the 43/2 five cent piece. We know the die was made in 1942. We assume the die was first hubbed 42 and then 43. But if it was first hubbed 43 and then hubbed 42 and the date wasn't driven in deeper than the 43, it would look the same as a 43/42 even though it was really a 42/43.
