coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 05/03/2018 11:55 pm The biggest thing missed is this: Look at the die state of the first image of the obverse? If this were a struck through copper cent, then the die state would be EDS. (No die wear) The copper cents were the first ones struck with the new die on the obverse: Note the die state of this coin for the obverse? That is the clue. No die wear on this coin. The OP's coin shows die flow towards the rim. So whoever created this die, made it with a later die state coin and not a EDS example. Busted The reverses could be used dies, but the obverse for these 1943 copper and the 1944 steel cents should have a EDS fresh die for the obverses as they are the first coins struck with them.
