BigSilver Pillar of the Community United States 2843 Posts	Posted 06/09/2016 5:17 pm Based on my understanding of how brockage occurs, this would be purely coincidental, besides being highly unlikely. I would love to see that as a genuine mint error, but I am skeptical Report this Post to the Staff
jasper62 Pillar of the Community United States 2189 Posts	Posted 06/09/2016 5:24 pm I'm assuming a magnet sticks to it since your calling it a 1943 steel cent? It looks really cool but I have my doughts that it's genuine. I could be wrong but I've never seen anything like this or know if it's even possible.

biokemist6 Bedrock of the Community United States 12437 Posts	Posted 06/09/2016 5:52 pm It looks more like one solid excessively thick planchet rather than two bonded together You may want to look for any other WWII era coins struck in the US that fit the criteria, it could potentially be a non-US planchet.

Maybe one of the resident experts will chime in sooner or later & point us all in the right direction Edited by jasper62 06/09/2016 6:21 pm Report this Post to the Staff
