$15,000SOLD Sale 1943 D penny , Longmont, CO Posted 1 week ago in Collectibles • Used (normal wear) DescriptionFor sale 1943 penny,I found it with a quantity of coins from a store that I closed from boullder,the bag marked as special. I have a hard time thinking that someone took a gamble on a raw 43D. The guy did send me a photo of the coin on a scale weighing to 3.11g
Well, I guess it might be a bit of a stretch to imagine that the Alibaba folks would actually spring for a real bronze planchet...
ANACS is about an hour away, The guy could have added one to the pop reports, and probably made more money.
I am actually hoping that we soon here about a new 43D copper found. But I don't know anymore on the issue. MM placement is an exact match to specimen on coin facts. The coin even has a real look to it, but to spend that much money on a raw often counterfeited coin puzzles me.
Now that I am in a position to look at this more closely, this is obviously the classic steal-pictures-of-a-genuine-coin scam. The pictured specimen is exacly the same as the unique specimen featured on PCGS CoinFacts:
I thought it looked to good to be true. Good work @TypeCoin971793 No wonder he wouldn't send the reverse pic.
