1943/44 Copper. 43's Everyehere

I'm sorry if you ever felt offended but if you have read the rules, it says that opinions that are made by members are just that, opinions. my opinion was that it is highly unlikely that you would ever find 2 S VDBs, a 14D, and a coin that doesn't exist. and I explain how it isn't possible for that to be made. whats offending about that? I never said it in a tone, I just emphasized the word highly. Usually when a member comes on here that is newer, and posts an extraordinary post about finding rare coins and errors, we doubt, because 99% of the time, there's no picture, no evidence except for a family story about their long lost grandfather or something, and no reasoning, and when you said S VDBs, a 14D, and a 22 weak S found metal detecting, were going to doubt. how can we not doubt? that's at least $3000 in coins there. found metal detecting! so, we wanted answers.

i hope you rethink your moving to another forum, and I am sorry you were offended.

I'm afraid he is letting his imagination run away with him on the 1944 cent. I don't see a 43 in any of the places he is saying they are at. And why would there be half a dozen 43's all over a 1944 cent? Can't say anything about any of the other coins he says he found because he hasn't shown any of them He might have found them. After all once they were made they had to go somewhere.



We have bad morals because we don't see the same things he does and we say so?



Clearly he does not know anything about how coins are struck.



You just want advice? OK, don't bother with the 1944 because it is nothing. Any advice on the other coins will have to wait until after you have posted pictures of them. And this is one of the best forums for getting advice.



Good luck getting advice on the adult forums.

If anyone thinks that any of the replies posted so far have been harsh, then you must have some really thin skin or you haven't been on the World Wide Web for very long. I see nothing wrong with any of the posts and to be perfectly honest, RPeternell's first post was quite confusing and the provided pics were even more confusing. This forum is about as family-friendly as you can find. If you want to see the proverbial flip side of the coin, go hang out at the PCGS Collectors Universe forum for a while- you will learn the true meaning of flaming over there...

A badly worn coin but still readable. Since ya'll don't believe what I have found I will post them as soon as I get them into the computer.

Welcome back RPeternell. Lots of environmental damage to this coin. It's obviously spent a lot of time taking a "dirt bath". With a little imagination I can see what appears to you to be an S mint mark however, since no cents were ever struck at the San Francisco mint in 1922, the dies were never made and that makes it an impossibility. Sometimes our eyes can play tricks on us.

I am still confused. Mr. Peternell is thi you 1922, 1943/44 or one of your 1909 SVDB's. I am not being a jerk I just still have no idea at what I am supposed to be looking?

Regards Sir.

I don't see anything but an imagination running wild.They eyes sometimes makes us believe where is something there when there isn't. (Not just on this coin, many other posts proport to be something) When digits/mint marks other anomilies are found if they are not the normal size as the device, it isn't anything. When die scratches are stronger than a anolomy, it is nothing. When you rorate the coin and it disappears because of change of the light source, it is nothing. Out minds try to put to use data we give it. Look for the varieties that jump out at you and not one that you have to spend a lot of time finding. Your collecting will be more enjoyable.

I think it's an equinog
