Major NGC Gaffe

I'm keeping mine as I knew it was wrong when i got it for cheap.

Just didn't know if you paid $150 for it.

It's a totally normal copper plated cent. The slight weight varience is not enough to consider it an error. Fred offered to take it back from me and I said no that I will keep it as a example of a incorrect error label.
It was part of a submission he did with normal copper cents that had major weight varience considered enough for them to be errors.

 

It was a few years ago. I believe I paid $70.00 from Brigandi Coin Shop from their ebay listings.

 

Interesting thread, I am sure the whole bunch were graded the same. As steel that is. Good catch Jcro

 

What is more valuable - a 1943 Bronze cent, or a 1944 Steel cent? The second is rarer, but not as valuable. The difference is that the second is considered to be struck on a foreign blank. And that is the difference.
The label shouldn't be specific, because it is impossible to tell the difference. The devil is in the details

 

Did you read my results on testing my so called "Blank Steel Planchet"?.. It's not true. I'm too distraught to care if a 1944 is on a foreign planchet or not

 

I heard 30 zinc cents were slabbed as steel from this submission lot. Paddy and I have one each.

 

Hey @JCro57 .. I found another example on ebay this morning for $3,650.00

 

Yeah. About 30 of these zinc planchets got certified as steel ones.

The good news is this one is only $153 for 24 months

 

Are there 1944 D or S steel cents? Those would be on cent blanks because all the Belgian 2 francs were struck in Philadelphia.

 

Yes, both are known. I think there are 2 1944S, and between 7-10 1944D. Obviously, the prices on those was slightly high:

@JCro57 I just saw this on ebay.
Look at the price

Ridiculous!

 

Yup. Another total jerk

 

That's not so much a jerk, it borders on total idiocy.
