coppercoins Pillar of the Community United States 7629 Posts	Posted 02/09/2008 3:05 pm My suspition, and probably the correct answer, although there's no proof... 1. This is definitely a 1948 cent. 2. It's probably someone's first attempt at a fake 1943 bronze cent. Report this Post to the Staff

It's probably someone's first attempt at a fake 1943 bronze cent" My first thought when I saw that sharp cut on the upper 8. It looks like a "twenty serif pileup" to me!
