<p>[QUOTE=&quot;iGradeMS70, post: 1368810, member: 29109&quot;]Chances of your coin be an authentic &#039;43 Copper are slim. There are various methods used to alter the color of &#039;43 Steel cents to make them appear to the naked eye as if they are copper-composed. I won&#039;t get into the specifics simply because I don&#039;t remember all of them, but the best way to verify the authenticity of your coin is to weigh it (closest to 1/10th of a gram as you can get).</p><p><br /></p><p>Another possibilty is that your coin was dug-up by a metal detector, and that the coin simply developed rust from decades of exposure to natural elements. I&#039;ve seen these far too many times mistaken by those unexperienced as a 1943 Copper Wheat Cent.</p><p><br /></p><p>-Brian[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
