We found 11 rolls of wheat pennies that were in a safe at my mother-in-law's house when she passed away going through them I have found this penny I do believe it's a 1943 that's meant copper it weighs 3.12 I've looked at pictures I've looked at everything I've read everything I could really use some professional input
Very convenient that one of the rarest coins in the hobby would happen to be in a state where the final digit of the date is so damaged it could literally say anything.
I'm not a coin collector like I said earlier we found 11 rolls that was in a wooden box in my mother-in-law's safe when she passed away when she was 85 they were marked wheat pennies I had no idea what a Wheat penny even was until then and I've done nothing probably for about a month but look at them and look them up and watch videos and all that good stuff so anything that looks different or off I asked questions about My mother-in-law was not wanting to put stuff up just to be putting it up I'm assuming that maybe when they quit making these she probably put some up at that point because even her sons didn't know she had them She also had a $20 gold coin that was actually made into a necklace and given to her son along with various other valuables If we would have found these in a coin jar or anywhere else I probably would not have thought twice about it to even look at them but she put them up for a reason and they have been rolled up and sitting in her safe for several several several years now
mutilated cent, value 1 cent. But please, feel free to send it in for grading and attribution, because that's the only way anyone is going to take your word on what it is, if your intent was to sell it or something at any point. Nobody in their right mind is going to buy that looking the way it does. much less pay 1943S copper prices for it.
Heck you'd be lucky if coinstar doesn't reject it at this point!
