wheatguy Pillar of the Community United States 1534 Posts	Posted 09/30/2009 8:21 pm I recently bought about 150 wheats and while I was searching through them, I found a copper 1943-S that looked to be AU. If I wasn't so excited, I probably would have realized it was copper plated, as I had read how to spot a fake. I remember running around for 30 minutes trying to find anything magnetic and my disappointment when it stuck to the magnet. Oh well, it was a good experience. I can't find it right now, but if I do I'll post pics. Edited by wheatguy 09/30/2009 9:03 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Umm, a genuine copper 1943 cent wouldn't stick to a magnet; a copper-plated steel cent would. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff

But you both made the point I wanted to also make! Now I am very interested in this thread! Report this Post to the Staff
