<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Troodon, post: 102008, member: 4626&quot;]Was talking about the second one listed, the penny with the pyramid on it.&nbsp; It is pretty clearly counterstamped after minting.&nbsp; It is worth nothing in numismatic terms... one cent in face value... and as a novelty, I guess whatever someone is willing to pay, which wouldn&#039;t be anywhere near $500,000 even to people who collect such things.</p><p><br /></p><p>As for the first... most supposed 1943 copper cents are either 1943 steel cents that have been plated with copper, or genuine copper cents that have had the date altered to appear to be 1943.&nbsp; I think only about 12 genuine pieces have been confirmed to exist to date... but more may be out there.&nbsp; I&#039;d never buy one without inspecting it in person and/or having authenticated by a TPG.&nbsp; (Of course if it was genuine I doubt I could afford it lol...)</p><p><br /></p><p>Again the $5 bill is either a minor ink error, possibly caused by dried ink getting stuck in the printing die, or smeared shortly after printing, or somebody just altered it after the fact.&nbsp; Even if it is a genuine error it isn&#039;t an uncommon one... I&#039;d say the value of it is pretty much exactly five dollars, lol.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
