Good riddance. We don't have a place for jerks like you anyway.
Edit: Looking at the other post you made on this forum, I'd say you're a troll. In that case, hopefully Bobby blocks you good. Both for trolling and for the snarky, "I'm older than you so I know more than you" remarks you made to us. I don't care who the heck you are, you have NO right to attack us that way.
There's a reason I don't touch these forums with a 10-foot pole. So many arrogant twits in our society who think they know everything, and refuse to listen to anyone else because BY GOLLY, they've got an error, and they're not gonna listen to anyone else's opinions. In fact, I don't really even care about errors anymore because for every one legit error, there's 99 clowns who think they've got something and are so adamant about what they have that it's agonizing. If I get a '95 Double Die penny, I'd rather spend it than waste my time on the cesspool that is the Modern Variety and Error forums. The educational value of that forum is negative.
Sorry for the rant, I was just ticked off at the arrogance of some people (not everyone, mainly directed at the OP) on this forum. Even the Chinese counterfeit dollar threads we get every week aren't this bad.

It's almost as bad as Facebook Marketplace.

Defiantly looks like a 3 in the area after staring at it for a while but I do know when I am starving, a tire begins to look like a big ol chocolate donut! Thank you for your service sir!

. so why don't you help people and quit being smart asses and you might establish a better report with the newbies on this site. Again, we have done that, we offered you information on your coin, we can see what you are referring to as a "3", and most here can tell that the size is much larger than the 3 actually used on 1943 wheat cents, bronze or otherwise. Whether or not it is damage, staining or something else I don't know, but what we can safely say is that... it is NOT an over date. If you don't believe us, that is fine, I often disagree with members opinions (especially when it comes to grading), but please be respectful, we have tried to help with your questions but you don't seem to want to listen, which is fine, but when you start getting nasty at us, it then becomes a problem. |

My offer stands, Sam - Submit it to NGC or PCGS, and if you're right, I'll send you $100 plus your grading costs.  |

I will respectfully disagree with you CalzoneManiac, relating to the Modern Varieties and Errors Forum. It's where a lot of my knowledge came relating to coins, so, I think it's a wonderful place.
Sure there are a lot of newbies, but we were all newbies at one point.
Edit: Thank you for your service Sam. I understand how you must feel right now. But trust me, the forum is a great place, sometimes you've got to understand that many of us had had many years of experience with very specific coin and error collecting, so we have a lot of knowledge. Yes, there is still much to learn, but most of us have a pretty well defined mind relating to this.
We can assure you that yes, the stain or dirt or whatever it is has left a 3, but it is not an actual 3 made by the mints, rather it's in the shape of a 3 by chance.
Just please be open to the fact that if you want to start looking for errors, you have much to learn, and we will try our best to help you out, as we've all been where you are now, a beginner.

Sam1966, first, a big Thank you for your service! I have held back on commenting but I am compelled to. Unfortunately, I can see no 4 over 3. You posed a legitimate question and have received many responses. The best answer I can give you is for an over date to have happened the 4 would be actually covering the 3. What you're "seeing" is the 3 is east of the 4. There are no 1943 cents steel or copper where the 3 is that far away from the 4 to begin with. Hope this helped.

First, Thank you for your service! Second, I must agree with the others on this one-I don't see a 3. Like Stated above, the 3 would have been too far from the date area to begin with for it to be an overdate. Keep hunting!

You're welcome for the compliments. I just needed to get that off my chest.
We've seen this crap literally hundreds of thousands of times in the fifteen years this site has been around, and we probably have THOUSANDS of years of combined knowledge about the subject of how coins are made. To put it bluntly, there is no chance in heck that coin is a 1944/3.

I agree with coop and others. The 3 isn't that large. And why would it be in the area you've drawn. |

I think it's time this thread be locked. It's obvious he won't listen to anything we have to say.
