<p>[QUOTE="Conder101, post: 345225, member: 66"]Not a lot, but there are more of them for 1943 than any other year because the silver planchet errors didn't show up easily among the steel cents like they did on the years made of copper so more of them got out. For that reason silver 1943's are a little cheaper than other years.</p><p><br /></p><p>I think this is a real silver cent with some wear and a lot of the missing detail is from weakness of strike due to the thinness of the dime planchet. Certification probably would raise the value, because most people no longer trust there own judgement and have to be told what something is, and what condition it is. Without the blessing of the almighty grading services most collectors are too timid to spend more than a small amount. With their blessing they will open their wallets and freely spend money on things they (and often the grading service) know nothing about.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
