1942 Brass Cent Valuation

I bought this coin back from my client who broke it out of slab beacuse it was damaged badly cracked from shipping out of country, I did not crack it Client did I have talked with NGC to reslab will have to submit it we'll see what they say its still in good condition when I purchased it years ago as an XF I also tucked away a PCGS Certified one.

To be continued....

the 1942 cent Struck on Brass came back as struck on Brass 10c Ecuador Planchet, have it listed on ebay now though I dont believe its cleaned now it has toned back nicely

There are numerous overweight (3.3 - 3.5g) 1941 cents with an excessive amount of tin and zinc in the alloy. I have three in my collection and have owned others. The most prosaic explanation is that the planchets are derived from rolled-thick strip with a reduced copper fraction. A rolled-thick, improper alloy mix error, if you will. I have to assume that the smaller number of 1942 cent with these characteristics stem from the same cause. I picked all of mine up for $50 or less. So, $45,000 is a bit rich. The 1942 Ecuador 10 centavos is supposed to weigh 3 grams, so it isn't a great match.
