That's about what I'd expect the date to look like, at least in a smaller image. That's a tough look to create from an 8, for instance. If it isn't magnetic, I'd be seriously thinking of having professionally attributed. Try not to get your hopes up (yeah, right  ), but if the rest of the coin looked that good I'd probably give it a shot. The chance of it being real is minuscule, but you won't be the first. Now, here's the problem, and I doubt you've thought about it: TPG fees are scaled by the value of the coin. If your coin is actually real, its' value is almost certainly into 6 figures. That means risking $100 (ANACS), $250 (NGC) or $250 + 1% of the coin's actual value (PCGS) on the cost of grading. And how, exactly, will you ship and ensure a coin which could fetch $250,000 at auction? If you're serious about this, your best bet might be to find a show within commuting distance at which one or the other of the TPG's will be attending in person. Generally, if one's there, all three are. Edited to add: There's another way, but only if your plan is to liquidate.

I am with the others on the 10 D being a 18 D with Damage/Wear to the 8. As for the 1943, Any coin with that much value and ease of faking, should be sent to a TPG or taken to a major show for authentication. Without Authentication its more than likely considered Fake. Even if its real

The 1910 looks like it was a 1917 and someone had turned the 7 into a 0. Look at a 1917 up close and compare..

Ssuper. I collect low end coins.The reason I said that was to see if he had tried to sell it at a dealer and what the dealer may have said.

I know this thread is four years old but I can not help asking if anyone knows what happened to these coins.

It couldn't have ended well, the "1910 D" is an impossible coin and grading companies wouldn't grade it.
