New Variety?

I tell ypu what. From now on all of us that have the knowledge being sought will all leave CCF and join another forum. It is not that hard to research who is giving you information and ifcthat person can be trusted. Soon CCF will be the blind leading the blind, but I guess that is what most on here want.

One of the not-so-blind left quite a while back and has been called upon to come back in to take a look at this thread.

To the original poster of this thread and owner of said 1943D cent: Your coin is a normal 1943D cent with a stain beneath the mintmark. There has never been a 1943D/S cent reported and verified, which unto itself means very little. Combined with the very questionable shape and color of the stain, the conclusion drawn is statistically certain beyond doubt.

Regardless of statistics, I am the owner and author of coppercoins.com and was the die variety attributer of the website until I reassigned that position to Bob Piazza and retired from coins. I have over 30 years experience in the field, have authored two books on the subject, and actually taught Coop a decent amount of what he knows about die varieties. Take it from experience - your coin is a normal coin, and you should put your energy into finding something else to be excited about.

I will not be returning for a follow-up; this is my only post to this thread. Thank you for your time and have a nice day.

You sir, are truly a pillar of this community. In every sense of the word.
This newbie thanks you for salvaging the thread. And I suspect I am not the only one who feels that way.
