datadragon Pillar of the Community United States 1648 Posts	Posted 09/04/2022 9:16 pm PCGS mentions 7 known for 1944-D steel, but if you look at the date such as the 44 you will notice differences right away indicating the one you posted is not a real 1944-D. Report this Post to the Staff
Spence Moderator United States 34409 Posts	Posted 09/04/2022 9:16 pm @arm, sounds like you have an aftermarket plated center there, right? What is the weight of this one?

Dearborn Moderator United States 95984 Posts	Posted 09/04/2022 9:56 pm that one looks like a badly plated steel cent to me as well. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget.

armjr New Member United States 32 Posts	Posted 09/04/2022 9:56 pm Oh, I'm quite sure it's not real, hence the magnet test fail. I found this coin in probably 1968 or so in roll coins. It wasn't real then either. I kept it anyway... My collection from those days hasn't see the light of day since 1973. I've been putting old stuff, silver, wheat ears, buffalos, etc, in tubes and tossing them in the box of my collection which was all un-albumed and rolled when I went off to college. I just thought I'd put it up here as an example of what is not a 44-D steel penny. I had 4 1943 plains in uncirculated condition put away as well.... unfortunately they are not in that condition any more. Alan Report this Post to the Staff
armjr New Member United States 32 Posts	Posted 09/04/2022 9:58 pm I'll weigh it in a little while. Pretty sure it's 3.1 gm or thereabouts. Alan Report this Post to the Staff
