Going through some wheat pennies from what looks like a 1943 steel cent error coin. Notice in the date 19 3 the 4 is missing what do you think I found a good one? Report this Post to the Staff

mfhorn Pillar of the Community United States 959 Posts	Posted 02/21/2009 5:40 pm Brucec; I have two of those as well. There was an article in Coin World about a year ago, about these, by Ken Potter, http://koinpro.tripod.com/ If you don't read Coin World, he writes a column for them. He was going to research them, and don't think he has an answer yet. Hope this helps. Report this Post to the Staff
coppercoins Pillar of the Community United States 7629 Posts	Posted 02/21/2009 10:30 pm My belief is that this has to do with the very odd die wear that 1943 dies suffered. This ONLY happened in 1943, it happened at all three mints, and it is common. Kinda rounds things down a little. Report this Post to the Staff
