Curious if there is a possibility that some '43 copper cents were held onto and stamped over with a '45? Edited by coinhusker26

Never heard of that before. I am not aware of any.

I'm just wondering if it ever could have happened. I realize it doesn't exist, but just curious if that's something the mint could or would have done. Would be easy to cover them that way with the small 4 and thick 5 over that 3.

In numismatics anything can happen but don't bet on it.

I have never heard of that, and I don't think the mint would do anything like that. John1  |

Considering how widely known the 1942/1 dimes are, it would be very surprising if any 1945/3 cents exist, as surely they would have come to light by now.

a '43/'45 overdate? I have heard of overdates happening from coin that were 1 year apart, not 2 years.
But here's the thing overdated coins happened when the DIES were re-dated, not left over coins.
It is next to impossible to exactly align an existing coin to strike up from 2 different attempts and have all the devices line up so perfectly that you cannot tell that were re-struck (with exception of the date , that is)
So to answer your question if 'left over' coins in the mint were restruck with a new date, my answer is a resounding NOPE.

As Dearborn states above, if a coin was struck and somehow got back to the planchet line and struck again, it would have to line back up perfectly in the dies. If it didn't you would have two different impressions.

I think a struck coin would not fit into the die chamber because a struck coin enlarges after it is struck. John1 |

This was all just curiosity. I have this 45 that I'm assuming has PMD and just happens to look somewhat like that. And it just got me thinking how crazy of a coin that would be and if that would ever even be possible.  |

Ah, ok. I see where you were going here. But this just looks like circulation flattening to me.
