Don't look closely at the third photo until you want to know the answer. So, which coin is 1943?

Just to not play favorites, they are all from the 1940's:

But one of them is a 1943, got it figured out yet?

It's not hard when you can see the date. But this is a very good imitation of a copper '43, but just so no one gets excited, trust me it is a steel fake.

And the 1943 was the third coin, then the first coin, and finally, obviously, the third coin.

Then it's copper plated and a magnet sticks to it?

I have one just like that. I bought it back in the 1970's I think.

I used to order stuff from novelty catalogs like Johnson & Smith's "Things You Never Knew Existed".

Ah the memories....
