My grandfather, an avid collector, gave me a penny collection in 1963. In it is a worn 1943 s copper penny. What should I do with this coin in this condition.
looks like an 8 to me as well, but if you believe it to be a '43, then send it to a grading service for verification..
I am at 1947. The 3 in the 1943 doesn't remotely look like yours at all. You coin has been harshly cleaned and is worth .01 cent.
Thanks I could not really tell. The 3 doesn't look right. I see the tail on the three does not extend long enough. It is pretty cool though.
