43 copper cent ?

So I found this earlier today looking through some wheat cents. I don’t have a scale to weight it. Who wants to start taking bets on what it’ll weigh? I’m going to grab a scale tomorrow

Imagine what a coin would look like if it was struck with dies intended for a steel cent, the details aren't there.

 

Just not there .

 

You have a magnet? There's another way to check it.
If it's ferromagnetic it will stick to the magnet.

 

The one I have it in its original packaging . . .

Mine is not as good.

 

The mush on the OP's coin is seen on cents from about 68 till 82.
Yours at least matches Wheat die Obv and Rev designs.
It's much more contemporary example.

 

Well just went out and after digging around I found a magnetic screw driver (non on my fridge weird I know) and....... it sticks . I kinda figured because it looked very “shiney” . Guess I don’t need to print off my 2 week notice.

 

You're taking it very well...perhaps some day...

 

Eghh there seems to be easier ways to make 100k. I’m curious on what the odds would be of actually finding one. Probably be better off playing powerball.

 

Thanks for this picture. It showed a very similar shine. I guess you’d say .

 

Or you can be like @paddyman98

 

I saw a 1943 COPPER cent and noticed a "funky looking" 3 at the end upon looking closer saw tool marks. Yup it USED to be a 1948 with Dremel buff marks on it. so BEWARE of fakes.
