I was opening my Wheat cent rolls up to check them out. Some of them I had for over 7 years. Others I got from searching bank rolls. I don't really know where it came from and not sure how I missed it. But my guess is circulation find.  It's now in a 2x2. This is my first one ever so I'm going to save it. *** Moved by Staff to a more appropriate forum. *** |

I will ask the obvious... have you checked it with a magnet?

 Weight also. Were the date digits all over the place on the 43's ? |

I wasn't able to use my PC until now. But in the mean time I did the following test and they aren't what you want to see :( Weight 2.7 Grams But the steel is 2.8. So is it fake? Sticks to a magnet  I didn't post it in errors because I knew it had the chance of being plated. (The reason I didn't post the back in the first pictures was because they were blurry so didn't use it.) |

Copper should not stick to a magnet, so, I am guessing it is plated and your scale is off. It sure looks like steel showing on the reverse on the E in ONE.

Huh, the scale must be damaged from someone probably playing with it then..
I was wondering what that might be. My guesses were gas bubbles.

Just wondering what a good price would be for a copper plated 1943 P D or S cent and where to find one. Thanks, John1 |

Looks like scotty11 has a few. I'd like one also. Great conversation piece. Hey brother, can you spare a cent ?  |

How come mine is dark though? It makes it look so real until you bring the magnet by it...
Could it be possible it was circulation and probably plated in the 1980's?
The color you see is like 95% right. My camera does change it just a touch.
