That’s ridiculous. I worked at the mint in San Francisco putting in the automated coin machines in 1989/90. First off , coin production does not start on January 1st . All the mints are about 5 to six months ahead of Jan.1st. Before the order came out the switch to steel all mints were already producing 43 copper pennies. A lot of coins were produced involving tons and tons of copper needed for the war. When Nellie Ross head of mints at the time stated “No Coppers Were Produced in 43 “ After the first 43 copper was found and confiscated as a counterfeit, It was not a lie, but very misleading because they were stamped in 1942. Look at your coins closely . A die was made for each mint it consists of 4’s and 3’s and then they proceeded to print over the 43. You can find it under coins from the 30’s to the weight change in 82/83. The 4’s and 3’s are all over the re stamped 43’s which is great when matching the ear marks against your coin. Like the little 3 grabbing Lincoln’s lip. Or the bigger 3 grabbing his chin or the 4 directly in front of his nose . There is so so many. It’s smoke and mirrors. Load the coins with 4’s & 3’s of different sizes and confuse everyone. They use those dies today. I found a 2009 commemorative penny where the 0’s were made out of 3’s . I have about 200 coins I’ve collected over the years that have been stamped over the date, match every earmark and when I go to get them graded. They say it’s a copy or it’s been manipulated. Look at the 43’s that have been certified. 4’s and 3’s all over it . The 1941’s and any year with a 4 as third number is so easy to see, but they also try to hide the little 4 on the 1943 copper by putting bigger one over it. It’s a joke. Once u know, you will see those dies being used on every coin. I’m not in the big boys club so I can’t get one certified, but like I said. Take a close look at your pennies and the certified 1943 copper pennies. I tell no lie. Patrick.

REB,
What really boggles the mind is how surprisingly nonchalant the 1943 Copper Cent and 1944 Steel Cent owners are about the extraordinary rarities in their “possession”.

I did get a 1943 Steel Cent in change about twenty or thirty years ago, Antonio, which is still in my Cent Folder to this day.

Would it still be valuable?

You’re very welcome, KeePitCleaN, and I’m truly sorry I couldn’t be of more help to you regarding your varied display of coins. It could simply be that I’m not adept enough with my computer skills to have been able to enhance that photo in the proper manner.
There are indeed more coins in the world than we can ever dare to imagine. To keep myself sane in that regard I now restrict myself to modern U.S. coinage which I obtain primarily from the US Mint. My first collection which I started well over sixty years ago consisted entirely of Western European Post WWII coins. Frankly, I don’t think it matters what coins you collect; I’ve never come across a coin that wasn’t of interest to me one way of another.

I’m guessing here, KeePitCleaN – and by the way, that’s the way we always keep it here – that what you’re really asking is whether any one or more of those coins has any sort of substantial value. A very fair question, however it’s somewhat difficult to tell exactly what each of them is. Without the zoom function they are a bit too small to identify and with the zoom applied they become rather blurry. Maybe someone else here with more acute eyesight than I have could give you an opinion; let’s hope so.

Well, that’s a superior picture, Stephen, since it’s from a more auspicious angle. On the other hand, I for one can’t say it gives me a better idea of what is going on with that second “4” since I’m not at all sufficiently conversant with all the possible ins and outs of error (or damaged?) coins.

I agree with Jeff Legan that something either looks awry or there is no definite conclusion we can come to here, and if that is indeed the case the only sure solution would be to consult a coin expert, specifically one that has nothing to gain by tilting their resolution in a direction that would somehow be beneficial to them such as a prospective buyer might. Perhaps in the finally analysis, and most especially so if you believe this cent to be rather special, i.e. valuable, having it graded by a third party might just do the trick, but that’s entirely up to you of course, Stephen.
