Message:: [QUOTE="CamaroDMD, post: 2988406, member: 5233"]I think you are asking if it is known if all the 1943 copper and 1944 steel errors are accounted for...is that what you are asking? There is no way to know for sure.  These coins weren't made intentionally...they were produced by mistake and got out of the mint.  Had they been found before leaving the mint they should have been destroyed.  Because they are errors that "fell through the cracks" there is no way to know how many were actually made.  So, there are no way to know how many still exist today. There are only a few of each type know to exist.  I know a few years ago another 1943 copper cent was discovered.  Are there still some out there waiting to be found...maybe.  But then again, maybe not.  There is just no way to know. I can tell you this though.  Trillions of cents have been minted.  Only a few of these coins were.  You have a better chance of winning the powerball and buying one of these coins at auction than finding one.  That said, if you enjoy searching through coins...then enjoy the hunt.  But make the hunt the fun part, not the goal.[/QUOTE]
