rking007 Pillar of the Community United States 784 Posts	Posted 11/06/2013 10:36 pm Well... to me it looks like a 43 but you've got a problem with it being copper. Unless...? Report this Post to the Staff

Nathancrh1 Pillar of the Community Canada 785 Posts	Posted 11/06/2013 10:58 pm Probably an altered date 48'. Even if it was real there is no way anyone could prove it enough so that they would shell out big money for it. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 11/07/2013 12:48 am They used to alter the 1948 to look like a 1943 copper. But the "3" on the date is so different, people should have known better. It also looks like it had at least two acid baths. Edited by coop 11/07/2013 12:49 am Report this Post to the Staff
Collector-Corner Pillar of the Community 872 Posts	Posted 11/07/2013 09:26 am I pulled this coin out of a 5000 count Wheat cent bag between 1982-83. I've had it ever since as a novelty item mainly. Its always nice to see a wide variety of answers, and all appreciated. I did have an extra slot on a voucher I received a while back for some free grading and I did send it in. I'll show that label in a few days. Report this Post to the Staff
