Monkey spirit New Member United States 21 Posts	Posted 10/06/2023 8:16 pm Hi my name is Jack and I think I have a 1943 copper penny. I need other advice. It's pretty worn and is either a 1943 or 1945. Can't tell for sure. Any advice helps! Thanks! (My coin is in between the two pictures as a reference) Report this Post to the Staff

Monkey spirit New Member United States 21 Posts	Posted 10/06/2023 8:52 pm Unfortunately I have no way to weigh it at the moment. But I do know it is not magnetic. Report this Post to the Staff

Spence Moderator United States 34393 Posts	Posted 10/06/2023 9:17 pm Here is the best I can do with the obverse pic that you posted above. We will need a much clearer pic, but in looking at your original post, the fourth digit doesn't drop below the number four. That makes me think that you have a worn and slightly misleading 1945 cent here.

Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 10/06/2023 9:24 pm Agree, this is most likely a 1945 cent. Good job, Spence. Edited by Coinfrog 10/07/2023 1:54 pm Report this Post to the Staff

kbbpll Pillar of the Community United States 4233 Posts	Posted 10/06/2023 11:18 pm I think it could be 1948, but the date is really mushed. @Monkey spirit look at a 1943 - the tail of the 3 extends as far as the tail of the 9. The bottom of your last digit is even with the 1. Report this Post to the Staff
Brandmeister Pillar of the Community United States 6448 Posts	Posted 10/06/2023 11:56 pm Such a weird smile on Lincoln's face. Almost certainly a 1945, but I wouldn't toss it without careful examination under a microscope. Stranger things have happened with rare coins. Report this Post to the Staff
