roach Valued Member United States 364 Posts	Posted 05/29/2024 07:27 am This 1943 Steel cent has what appears to be rather distinct doubling of the 43. It does have what looks like mild corrosion. I can't find any mention of any variety that looks like this in any of the references I have looked in. My inclination is to assume its a fake or its due to some weird corrosion effect that has created a "shadow" of the 43. Any thoughts? * Moved by Staff moved to a more appropriate forum. * Report this Post to the Staff

-makecents- Pillar of the Community United States 8805 Posts	Posted 05/29/2024 08:23 am Could be Die Deterioration, as John1 stated but I'm leaning towards a badly re-processed coin, which will give it the look of doubling in this area, due to movement of the extra plating. -makecents- Report this Post to the Staff
