A1agrl Valued Member United States 170 Posts	Posted 05/20/2024 1:01 pm Attached are photos of a 1943 penny which is missing the number 4 in the date ... 19 3. On one photo I outlined what could be a 4, but it is smudged and out of place, being a bit higher than where it should be. I think this is a stuck through grease error. Do you agree?

A1agrl Valued Member United States 170 Posts	Posted 05/21/2024 10:19 am Thanks all for the great comments. Although there may be many of these out there, I have never seen one till now, and will add it to my collection as a coin of high interest due to its age and unique tie to WWII. Some coins are priceless. Report this Post to the Staff
tyr4nt Valued Member United States 78 Posts	Posted 05/21/2024 10:23 am Agreed. It's also why 2x2s are wonderful. You can annotate why you kept it and in the future someone else will get the details. Report this Post to the Staff
A1agrl Valued Member United States 170 Posts	Posted 05/21/2024 4:00 pm Not sure what you mean by 2X2 and saved annotations. Is this a function/tool of the site? Or does it mean our initial input is archived for future reference. There's so much I am unaware of. Report this Post to the Staff
John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 05/21/2024 4:37 pm 2x2 is a type of cardboard coin holder you staple together. Annotations are what you write on them for your reference. John1 Report this Post to the Staff
A1agrl Valued Member United States 170 Posts	Posted 05/22/2024 2:00 pm Thanks... I feel a bit dumb. Obviously, I'm a beginner. I inherited a family collection and am trying to sort through it. But in doing so, I've found a new hobby. Report this Post to the Staff
