Mikeymus Valued Member United States 110 Posts	Posted 06/12/2015 10:29 pm I picked this up in a 100+ Wheat penny lot that included a lot of really nice Wheaties with a few Uncirculated coins. This looks almost Uncirculated please let me know what you think. Report this Post to the Staff

Mikeymus Valued Member United States 110 Posts	Posted 06/13/2015 12:36 am just wondering is that a normal size for the 4 in 1943? I think that some of the "corrosion" might be the remnants of a laquer coating. Report this Post to the Staff

Cascade Pillar of the Community United States 7390 Posts	Posted 06/13/2015 08:32 am Yes mikey, those 4's are tiny and are prone to not even being there. I've seen a few that look like only the 4 was effected by grease or overpolishing Report this Post to the Staff
Mikeymus Valued Member United States 110 Posts	Posted 06/13/2015 08:36 am T-BOP you do realize the 43S is worth more than the 43 Philly or 43D. It is around .65 Cents on the low end and around $20 high end. I figure that coin in the condition it is in would still be worth a few bucks depending on grade. Report this Post to the Staff

CoinCollector2012 Pillar of the Community United States 8137 Posts	Posted 06/14/2015 12:44 pm In corroded condition these really don't have any value. If you want to look at the bright side, the 1943-S is the lowest mintage steel cent. Report this Post to the Staff
