If the date is 1944, it's not a steelie.

Those were only minted in 1943 by all three Mints.

 

I can clearly see the bottom of the 3 on one of your photos.

that is a 44 all day

 

The last '3' is apparent. It is not a '44 steel. Yes, there have been examples, but this is not one, sorry, '1943'.

 

Here is my enhancement of your photo and my comparison photo. I see the 3.

 

thanks I can see it now! but check out my newest image and you can see why i am confused or was

 

ok now i am curious as to if it is a 3 over a four?

 

lol my mind is going penny crazy

 

on these corroded coins a person could imagine about anything.

 

And some do unfortunately that seldom comes true.

 

The same could be said about perfect coins, too.

 

If something like this did exist, wouldn't it have to be a four over three? The mint would have to pre-date a die for one strike, with a four to have a current three placed over it. Or insert an old previous die for one strike, when the 1944 coins were made. Either way, sounds like your on a fishing expedition.

 

I'm always on a fishing expedition

 

Good man David. I like to see that type of transparency.

 

It's without a doubt a 1943. You can make out the tail, of the three. Sorry.

 

I have a corroded to death 1914 cent. I swear I see a D on it lol. Ill post it later.

 

There were a few 1944 steel cents minted a friend of mine had one and he sold it for 20,000
