wouldn't it be something if it was made from 2 REAL 1943-D coppers?

Keeps saying NOT made of Silver or Gold, but what is it made of? Actually looks like a fairly good copy. Kinda scary.

I'm sure much closer inspection would reveal any flaws and raise some flags, but it looks pretty good at a glance.

What the seller is saying is that since there is "technically" no US copper 1943, he does not have to put a "COPY" stamp on it.

That's why he chose the 1943 date to manufacture his trick coin. Composition is almost surely bronze.

Now this could be reversed into a regular looking copper Wheat cent just like they make two headed coins by hollowing one out and inserting another smaller diameter and width into the hollow side.
That would be something to watch for since it would not be magnetic and some of those two sided coins are pretty well done trick coins.
