My offer stands, Sam - Submit it to NGC or PCGS, and if you're right, I'll send you $100 plus your grading costs.

I will respectfully disagree with you CalzoneManiac, relating to the Modern Varieties and Errors Forum. It's where a lot of my knowledge came relating to coins, so, I think it's a wonderful place.

Sure there are a lot of newbies, but we were all newbies at one point.

Edit: Thank you for your service Sam. I understand how you must feel right now. But trust me, the forum is a great place, sometimes you've got to understand that many of us had had many years of experience with very specific coin and error collecting, so we have a lot of knowledge. Yes, there is still much to learn, but most of us have a pretty well defined mind relating to this.

We can assure you that yes, the stain or dirt or whatever it is has left a 3, but it is not an actual 3 made by the mints, rather it's in the shape of a 3 by chance.

Just please be open to the fact that if you want to start looking for errors, you have much to learn, and we will try our best to help you out, as we've all been where you are now, a beginner.

Sam1966, first, a big Thank you for your service! I have held back on commenting but I am compelled to. Unfortunately, I can see no 4 over 3. You posed a legitimate question and have received many responses. The best answer I can give you is for an over date to have happened the 4 would be actually covering the 3. What you're "seeing" is the 3 is east of the 4. There are no 1943 cents steel or copper where the 3 is that far away from the 4 to begin with. Hope this helped.

First, Thank you for your service! Second, I must agree with the others on this one-I don't see a 3. Like Stated above, the 3 would have been too far from the date area to begin with for it to be an overdate. Keep hunting!

You're welcome for the compliments. I just needed to get that off my chest.

We've seen this crap literally hundreds of thousands of times in the fifteen years this site has been around, and we probably have THOUSANDS of years of combined knowledge about the subject of how coins are made. To put it bluntly, there is no chance in heck that coin is a 1944/3.

I agree with coop and others. The 3 isn't that large. And why would it be in the area you've drawn.

I think it's time this thread be locked. It's obvious he won't listen to anything we have to say.
