[QUOTE="silentnviolent, post: 1810595, member: 8797"]I see, more faintly than the corner of a seven, the area you are saying is a three. Here is why I don't believe that is what it is: 1. I see more clearly the corner of a '7' 2. If it [I]was[/I] a three, the center is too pointy; the font is wrong and doesn't match the style 3 they used in 1943 3. If it [I]was[/I] a three, it is higher than it should be. 4. If it [I]was[/I] a three, and not magnetic as you say, it would be one of THE legendary coins of the U.S., with an error on it. The odds of that are super slim; not impossible, but super duper slim. I don't think you will get anyone, ever, to agree it is a 1943 copper. You could [I]say[/I] it was that, but then again I've gone into pawn shops where they were selling a little one-armed-bandit style 5 cent slot machine with a sign taped on saying "Owned By Elvis!" Which is to say, without some kind of verification proving it is what you claim it to be, you MAY be able to find a sucker, but it will never command the premium it would with proper proof.[/QUOTE]
