oldmike Pillar of the Community Canada 891 Posts	Posted 12/20/2016 11:30 am Nice finds, I believe the weak E on the reverse of the 83 p is due to die wear, I have many of those with that issue Edited by oldmike 12/20/2016 11:37 am Report this Post to the Staff

Read this article about wrong planchets: http://www.numismaticnews.net/artic...ent_turns_up Yes. I usually put them aside and weight them after confirming if any of them are doubled die. I noticed that most are around 2.5-2.56 grams, which would be zinc, but I did find one that weighted 3.09 grams, which I am guessing is copper. I also drop them on hard wood and if copper you can hear this sharp douns that you get when you drop any penny that is pre-1982. I say 1982 because some 1982 small date are made of zinc while the large date is made out of copper. Report this Post to the Staff

Buddy Rest in Peace United States 7075 Posts	Posted 12/20/2016 12:06 pm Don't know about the cent but the 1935 dime was made in Philadelphia. The W on the obverse is the artist's initial. Report this Post to the Staff
Dave42 Pillar of the Community United States 571 Posts	Posted 12/20/2016 1:13 pm The 1943-D Steel cent appears to be what they call "reprocessed". Basically it has been replated to look shiny and new. This actually detracts from the value of the coin in my opinion, since it has been modified post mint. It could not be a proof in any case, as proofs were only minted in Philadelphia that year. Keep looking, you seem to be finding some good stuff! Report this Post to the Staff
