Finally Have A 1943 S Steel Penny!

Now that you got your first one, soon enough next thing you know ull decide to look at them and realize this is half of what you have&

It was the stupid lighting I don't know why they look more brown in photo lol..my pictures never come out good for this site for some reason. Some have started to get a little black to them but def don't look brown in person lol

Oohhhh ok!! LOL I would tell you what I do to get good pictures but not sure if people would think it's crazy or brilliant..... LOL!!

Is it just me, or?

I don't think coinfrog likes me very much..... ehhh oh well.

I have a black stove so I pick a spot with decent lighting and set coin down....I get a box, but not a big one, think I use the one my little blender came in and set it on counter to set phone on with lense hanging over to see coin. Keeps phone steady. Take the pic then crop it in google photos. Hope that made sense. Hope it can help at least 1 person.

I don't want to weigh in on this silly fracas too much but it seems to me to be merely a generational misunderstanding. All of us have likely posted impulsive or dumb stuff on some forum or another that we later regretted. No harm intended = no foul. Or as Taylor would say, just "shake it off."

I realize I am giving away my age here, but I was around when these 'steelies' were circulating. My kid bro and I had an informal contest going to see who could gather up the most. Thanks to help from grandparents, he managed nearly to fill an entire Roi-Tan cigar box with these oddball cents. Then one bright warm spring day, on a ridiculous childhood dare, he dumped the entire boxful out the second story window into mom's flower garden, upsetting both parents to no end. It took the rest of the summer 'magnet fishing' to retrieve them, and I am sure we missed a bunch.

I do apologize, mysilveryears, if this thread seems nothing but a waste of time to some of you. There is a solution to that..... pretty easy as well... don't read them? That came off as rude not my intention. I hope you do stick around tho and thanks for sharing that story! I do wonder how many coins were left behind! That's crazy!

Coinfrog.....I do apologize for my earlier comments where I was, well, incredibly rude to you. Just remember, what goes around, comes around. I didn't join Coin Community to go around bashing people and in my defense other ppl on here thought what you were saying was just flat out uncalled for. I'm sorry I don't have the knowledge you do when it comes to coins. Don't berate me, teach me! Call it a truce? Start over? You have a website yes? I would love to check it out sometime if that's alright with you.
Hi Coinfrog, I'm Girlinlove. Pleased to meet you!

I most certainly plan on sticking around. I started late with the whole coin thing and sometimes feel pretty dumb not having picked certain things up but I know it's a learning process and takes time. Patience is virtue and unfortunately I'm not very patient...lol
