Mickifan77 New Member United States 29 Posts	Posted 09/11/2024 4:31 pm I have this 1943-S steel penny that appears (at least to me) to have a die crack on the reverse going from the S in PLURIBUS to the E in ONE. I'd also be curious to know what you'd grade this at and it may be hard to see in my photos but it has iridescent toning on both side. Has it possibly been cleaned? I'm trying to determine a value. Thanks for your help! Report this Post to the Staff
